Genital warts are the result of the transmission of HPV, the human papillomavirus.
It is highly contagious and unprotected sex with an infected person results in viral transmission about 70% of the time.
Because genital warts are a type of sexually transmitted disease (STD), the majority of the people who have it prefer not to tell the world about it.
It's a very private matter to have to deal with.
Even though only a small percentage of those carrying the disease actually exhibit symptoms, the fact that a person carries an infectious disease is enough of a worry by itself.
If you have these warts, know that there is treatment available to deal with the problem.
It must be pointed out that genital warts treatments only focus on getting rid of the warts themselves; the virus that causes them remains in the body and there is a chance another outbreak could occur.
In that sense, HPV behaves much like HSV, the virus that causes genital herpes.
Throughout the virus's time in the body, it undergoes a series of outbreaks and dormancy.
The key to the warts treatment is to minimize the impact of the outbreak and lengthen the time between each outbreak; that is, increase the dormancy period if possible.
If you are symptomatic, managing the disease becomes the focus.
There is a wide array of genital herpes treatments; some even use green tea oil for warts remedies.
Whatever the treatment you choose, make sure it's an effective one in getting rid of the warts in a timely manner, and secondly, has manageable side effects.
Every drug has side effects, but the focus of the treatment should be on removing the warts, not on the side effects.
If the side effects become too much of a worry, it may not be in your best interest to pursue that genital warts treatment.
Genital herpes and warts remedies come in all shapes and sizes; they even have varying degrees of effectiveness.
If you're serious about doing something about your wart problem, consult the advice and treatment of a doctor.
Your doctor will discuss with you all the options you have in getting rid of the warts, and prescribe medicine that will be the most effective for you and your issues.
You can lead an active lifestyle with HPV, but the first step must come from you.
A well-managed genital warts treatment plan can eliminate the warts in a matter of days.
