Some Treatment For Genital Warts Can Control The HPV By Activating The Body's Immune System
| Advancements in the field of medicine and introduction of different qualitative treatment options have made treating genital warts an easy affair. No doubt warts are extremely transmittable infections that may cause by unsafe sex. Mainly this disease catches victims through various ways including direct skin-to-skin contact in oral, genital or anal sex when done with infected sexual partners. Basically genital warts are easily recognizable symptoms of chronic genital infection human papillomavirus (HPV) which may bring lots of stress in the sufferers. Treating genital warts is therefore mandatory step for better control.n nnIt is important to understand that the warts are only the visible symptoms, some strains of HPV or Human papillomavirus is the root cause. HPV is transmitted through skin-to-skin contact during the sexual activities with an infected partner. The warts do not always appear as soon as the person is infected, but may undergo a latent period. The person thus infected can still infect others. Sometimes the warts disappear without treatment, especially if the body's immune system is strong. n nnSuch factors augur sufferers to take treatment for genital warts seriously. You don't know about impromptu appearance of warts and their disappearance. Their cyclic appearance and disappearance cause annoying situation for sufferers. Most genital warts are easily identifiable. Doctors may use magnifying glasses or colposcope to see the warts of smaller sizes. Whatever may be the case - the size and location of genital warts are examined closely to come up with better solution. Treatment for genital warts is begun through assessing different factors associated with them. Doctors guide sufferers to select genuine treatment options out of the many methods available.nnnSome genital warts can successfully be treated with genital warts creams and lotions marketed by various companies. The best advantage of these creams is that the patients themselves can successfully apply them. Others, because of their intensity or location require more professional handling. Some of them need to be removed through surgery or cauterization Cryosurgery, which removes the warts by freezing them in liquid Nitrogen is supposed to safe enough even for pregnant women. Bigger warts may need surgical excision. Cauterization is also another option. n nnThere are mainly two types of treatment for genital warts, patient applied and doctor applied. Patient applied medicines include lotions and creams prescribed by the doctors. The patient can apply them on their own without medical supervision. However, the patients must stick to the prescription strictly and must not apply more than the prescribed amount or prescribed regimes.n nnThere are also some excellent over the counter medicines that you can apply. Such medicines do not have any side effect and most of them claim to cure the warts from the roots and therefore the warts once healed do not recur. There are also some home remedies that the patients can apply successfully. On the other end, are the doctor-applied treatments for genital warts. Cryosurgery is supposed to be the safest method, safe even for pregnant women. Cauterization, surgical excision or laser ablation too are other options. n nnGenital wart cream like Polyphenon E or Veregen also cures genital warts quite effectively, but like Podofilox group of medicines, they do just that. The Imiquimod group of medicines, on the other hand, are immune response ointments and so Aldara, belonging to this group of medicines, works by activating the immune system of the body and therefore is more effective in controlling the genital warts. The Interferon, though not exactly a genital wart cream is more effective than Aldara in the sense that once they are injected in the body, allow communication between cells to trigger the protective defences of the immune system and thus help in eliminating the invading pathogens. nnnAldara another genital wart cream, belonging to the Imiquimod group causes less local irritation than the Podofilox, but may cause flue like symptoms. Polyphenon E or Veregen belonging to the sinecatechins group take longer time to heal, but have even lesser side effects than Aldara or the Podofilox group of medicines. Also, remember, that genital warts creams like Fluorouracil is no longer in use because of very bad side effects. The Interferon is not a genital wart cream and is little too costly for most. It is found in the injection form and is a doctor applied medicines. As they work by activating the body's immune system, they are said to be the best treatment for genital warts.n |
