Answers to Common Questions About Genital Warts

[ad_1]

Question #1. How are genital warts spread?

Answer: Usually through direct skin to skin contact and possibly by body fluids as well. They can pop up anywhere from a few days after infection all the way up to a couple years, in some cases.

While you are treating your warts, you definitely do not want to do anything that might possibly spread them to other people or other parts of your body. Always wash your hands and clean the area before each treatment.

Question #2. Is it possible to get rid of the warts for good?

Answer: Many of the people who treat using the creams and oils available usually report their warts coming back within 2 to 3 months. However, not all treatments should be considered equal. The reason most oils and creams do not work permanently is because they only treat the surface of the wart, leaving the root behind under the skin. So when seeking treatment, look for one that can get under the skin to attack the root base of the wart. Then it should not come up in that area again.

Question #3. If you're pregnant, is it still safe to use a treatment?

Answer: The earlier you catch the warts and start treating them, the better. Most treatments are perfectly safe to use during pregnancy, except perhaps for Aldara. Aldara has been known to cause rash and burns in some women, so check with your doctor before using Aldara while pregnant.

Most natural treatments are gentle on the skin and should not cause any problems for a pregnant woman.

Question #4. How to the warts usually go away?

Answer: The 3 most common ways are: falling off, crumbling and flaking away, and shrinking until they are completely gone. Which one of these yours will do is unpredictable, because everybody's

case and personal body chemistry is a little different. Sometimes warts might change color a little or swell before falling off or while they're shrinking. That's a good sign, because it means the method you're using is working.

Question #5. When I get rid of them, will I still be able to spread them to other people in the future?

Answer: If you are treating your warts using a method that leaves behind the wart root under the skin, then yes you can still spread your warts to others.

However, in some particularly healthy people it is possible for the immune system to do the "behind the scenes dirty work" after you've gotten rid of everything you can see on your skin.

For some people this happens easily and for some not at all. The primary factors influencing this are your stress levels, whether or not you smoke, your personal body chemistry, and generally how healthy you are in everyday life (examples: Do you get exercise? Do you eat right? Are you exposed to a healthy dose of vitamin D producing sunlight each day?)

The best treatment involves a physical treating of the warts in combination with taking immune boosting vitamins and minerals.

Question #6. But what about the sites that say the virus always stays with you?

Answer: Whenever you get a virus, whether it be a cold virus, a flu virus, or whatever... your body makes a copy of it in its system. It does the same thing for HPV, the warts virus. So whenever you get over it just like how you'd get over a cold or a flu, you can still have the virus in your system, even though everything is fine with you. That's why sometimes people get confused about this whole thing when they read a bunch of conflicting info from a lot of different websites.
