Basic knowledge about HPV and genital warts

It is strange that though sexual infections are dangerous, people are less aware of them. Many people get affected by these sexually transmitted infections due to the lack of awareness. Did you know that there are more than 100 different types of human papillomavirus (HPV) but only a few cause genital warts? About 40 types are spread by sexual contact, while other types spread on hands, feet, and face. These other types do not cause genital warts. The virus thrives inside your body’s cells where it multiplies and eventually breaks out of its original cell to infect other cells. Genital warts problem in men and women is rampant as approximately two-thirds of people who are intimate with an infected partner are most likely to contract this infection within three months of sexual contact.

Genital HPV is the main cause of cervical cancer and there are two types of HPV which are considered high risk since they cause cervical cancer. There are many others which are categorized as intermediate risk for cervical cancer. The types of HPV which cause visible genital warts are considered low risk.

Regular pap testing is critical to ensure that changes in the cervix related to HPV do not develop into cervical cancer. There is even loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) available to treat genital warts. This method uses a thin, low voltage electric wire loop to heat the affected area and remove genital warts, by separating warts from the skin. The side effects of surgery may include bleeding, fever, severe pain, and foul odour yellow discharge which may indicate an infection. Hence, prefer Wartrol Spray a natural solution which has been formulated using natural ingredients such as wild yellow indigo, black sulphide of antimony, potassium hydrate, nitric acid, and arbor vitae. It needs to be taken orally or sprayed on the affected area 2-6 times a day for optimal results.
