Things you never knew about most common STI genital warts

Until you have experienced it, you don’t know what it really feels like! The saying holds true in case of genital warts, one of the most common sexually transmitted infection. Most of the information available on the internet often tends to scare people by illustrating the complications of the infection. There is no doubt that you have heard that warts on genitals are large cauliflower like bumps that can be hard to get rid of. There is lot of misconception about the infection among people. Read on to find out some interesting facts about the infection that no one ever told you before:

  • If you have genital warts, then relax! There are no real health risks of having warts. The condition is not different than having warts on your hands or feet.
  • Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infects most people. It’s just that only 1/3 of those infected by the virus actually develop the warts.
  • HPV virus can stay inactive in body for a couple of years before it surfaces in form of warts. This makes it almost impossible to trace the origin of the infection if you have multiple partners.
  • It is possible to catch the infection from person, who doesn’t have visible warts but carry the virus.
  • Even if you use a condom, it is possible to catch the infection. Virus can pass from infected person to healthy person by any form of skin contact. If your genitals touch during foreplay you can get the infection.
  • It is possible to reduce the appearance of warts using topical creams like ZymaDerm for Warts.
  • Having HPV infection does not mean that you’re going to get cervical cancer. Virus that causes cancer is different from the one that causes genital warts.
  • Topical solutions aren’t the only treatment for reducing appearance of warts. You can use Wartrol wart removal spray that needs to be used orally.
