sorry, i asked the herpes question by mistake. i get confused because i don't have any genital warts... just raw itchiness both inside and out for about 2 months now. however, my doctor told me i tested positive for hpv - type 1. i have already had cervical cancer so this scares me quite a bit.

Most women have at least one Yeast infection during their lifetime. It is not a Sexually Transmitted Disease although it can be transmitted from an infected partner.
Vaginal secretions are normally acidic - normally, this keeps the natural yeast "spores" under control. When you go on the Birth Control Pill, when you take antibiotics, when you are pregnant or hyperactive sexually or if you are diabetic, this acid balance gets out of whack. The vagina becomes alkaline and the yeast spores overgrow.
The first signs are a thick gucky white discharge from your vagina, your genitals burn and itch, are swollen, red and irritated. You just want to live in the bath tub. Go to your family doctor or Sexual Health Clinic where it can be diagnosed immediately. Then you go to the drug store and pick up antifungal vaginal suppositories, (usually called Monistat) They come in packages of one, three or seven day treatment. Pick up a small tube of Monostat Cream at the same time.
At bedtime, have a bath, insert one suppository into your vagina and rub a small amount of the cream on your genitals. Sleep, and in the morning it will feel much better, have a shower and repeat this the next night till you have used all the suppositories. You are fine, but if you are going to have sex, insist your partner use a condom.
Why? Well, your partner may be carrying the spores under the foreskin, even if he is circumcised, it may be hiding there. He should apply a small amount of the Antifungal cream to his penis to clear it up. Infected males may have a white flakey coating on the penis, it may feel dry and cracked. Use the cream and he must use a condom until it is completely healthy again.
Some females have chronic low grade yeast infections that flare up after sex or after every menstrual period. In this case, buy Monostat 7 suppositories, use one after your period or after sex. Also, do not wear tight jeans, panty hose or panties with a nylon crotch. These keep the body heat contained, triggering a repeat infection.
You can also use one ACIDOPHYLLIS capsule, (Health Food Store) inserted into your vagina as a prophilaxis, also eat one large 500 gram tub of plain unsweetened natural yogurt every day for lunch. This gets the acid/alkaline balance of the vagina back to normal again. If you are pregnant, ask your doctor if it is safe to use the antifungal suppositories.

HPV is not uncommon among people who are sexually active...and that's almost everyone. That's the reason that sexually active women are encouraged to have regular PAP smears. Some strains are more dangerous than others. Some people with it will have problems down the road whiles others won't. Your boyfriend needs to be tested for HPV. If he's positive, then there's little reason for a lot of precaution. If he's negative, then continue to use condoms or have him get the HPV vaccination.

I got diagnosed with herpes (type 2) about five yrs ago, while I was still in college and had a stupid one-night stand. I realize lots of young ladies will declare this, but I swear I had certainly not done that sort of thing before. I just made a massive mistake that one time and all of a sudden I felt like I was going to have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life. The worst part was feeling I could never date men again. After all, who wants to go out with someone who has sores round her private parts? But since a friend shared this video https://tr.im/050t2 everything got better.
Not only was I able to eradicate all traces of the herpes simplex virus from my body in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just a week ago, in front of everybody in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This system provided me the opportunity to be happy and experience real love. Now I want to enable you too by sharing this with the whole World.

I know what your going thru. I have herpes and had hpv. My ob/gyn had to do a hysterectomy at the age of 22 b/c the dysplaysia was so severe that I would have had cancer if he hadn't done it. While in surgery, he also found that I had endometriosis. You may want to talk to your dr. about this. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, b/c now I can't have children.

i have the same issues, except i did have warts. your doctor should watch you closely, once they detect the dysplaysia(cervical cancer cells). generally the warts will soon follow. they can be 'easily' removed by lasers, creams, or acid.
but to stop the itching, just try to keep cool and dry.
