WHAT ARE WARTS ?

Genital Warts are the most common sexually transmitted disease caused by a virus. The human papillomavirus, or HPV, of which there are over 90 known variants.

According to the American Social Health Association, approximately 5.5 million new cases of sexually transmitted HPV infections are reported every year. At least 20 million Americans are already infected.

The warts don't generally cause any serious long term health problems. It is up to the individual whether they are treated or not and it is sometimes known for them to clear up by themselves.

Genital warts are flesh-colored or gray growths found in the genital area and anal region in both men and women.

Genital warts affect both men and women and can occur at any age.

• Most cases are seen between the ages of 17-33 years. It is highly contagious. You have a 60% risk of getting the infection in a single sexual contact with someone who has genital warts, usually within three months of contact.
• The warts can appear as single bumps or in clusters some having a cauliflower structure.
  
• Genital warts are easily treated, although it's unusual for one treatment to be enough.
  

• There are many strains or types of the HPV (wart) virus. Some warts grow on the body such as a Flat Wart. Others grow on the hands, the Plantar Wart ( or planter wart ) grows under the feet. The warts virus is also found in the genital area including in and around the anus, vagina, and on the penis.

Many HPV infections are invisible. This means that the virus has altered the DNA structure of the cell but shows no visible signs on the skin. Millions of people are unaware that they have HPV because they are no visible growths. In this situation only a medical sampling of the skin will determine if the virus is prevalent.

The main strains of the virus include - Common Warts that usually grow on the hands, often affecting children, Planter Wart ( or plantar wart ) which grow on the soles of the feet affecting many athletes and can be very painful, Flat Wart that grow in large numbers or clusters and Genital Wart.

Genital warts are spread during oral, genital, or anal sex with an infected partner.

In women, the warts occur on the outside and inside of the vagina, on the opening (cervix) to the womb (uterus), or around the anus. In men, genital warts are less common. If present, they usually are seen on the tip of the penis. They also may be found on the shaft of the penis, on the scrotum, or around the anus. In rare cases, genital warts can also develop in the mouth or throat of a person who has had oral sex with an infected person.

WHY ME ?

Why did you contract genital warts ? Apart from the fact that HPV is highly infectious, some people just appear prone to warts. Your immune system can make a difference and just like other types of virus, the common cold for example , some people are just more susceptible to contracting it than others. Other factors such as age and a weakened immune system will also affect how easily you become infected by the virus. Younger people and children are much better at fighting the virus for one reason or another.

If the skin has been damaged, no matter how miniscule the tear may be, then this can also elevate the spread of the warts. Broken and grazed skin or just from shaving can all affect how the outbreak will propagate.

REMEMBER: You can't catch genital warts from sharing baths, towels, cups, plates or cutlery, or from toilet seats.

DIAGNOSIS

A doctor or other health care worker can usually diagnose genital warts with a visual examination. Women with genital warts should also be examined for possible HPV infection of the cervix.

If you believe that you are infected you should seek medical attention.

DANGERS

Cervical Cancer

The strain of HPV that causes genital warts has also been linked to an increased risk of contracting cervical cancer in some women. A Pap test can be performed, whereby a sample of cells from the cervix are taken and are then examined under the microscope.

Pregnancy and Childbirth

Genital warts may cause a number of problems during pregnancy. Sometimes they get larger during pregnancy, due to a temporary weakening of the women's immune system. making it difficult to urinate. If the warts are in the vagina, they can make the vagina less elastic and cause obstruction during delivery.

PREVENTION

TREATMENTS

Although treatments can remove the warts a person may carry the virus for the rest of their lives. As the virus is still present in your body warts will often recur after treatment.

In some cases the warts may disappear naturally, without any treatment. In other cases, they may develop a fleshy, small raised growth that looks like cauliflower. There is no way to predict whether the warts will grow or disappear. Therefore, if you suspect you have genital warts, you should be examined and treated, if necessary.

If you have small warts, the doctor can remove them by freezing (cryosurgery), burning (electrocautery), or laser treatment. Occasionally, the doctor will have to use surgery to remove large warts that have not responded to other treatment.

Various creams are available, although some such as Condylox may cause irritation if not applied correctly. Alternative natural formulas are also available and some people find these very effective and a lot less painful.
