how bad is warts??? how bad if its with the person one year without seeing a doctor?

Question

what will be the best treatment? will it be back after treatment?
will it link to cancer if untreated for a long period of time?

Answer 1

There are a lot of different treatments, and different ones work for different people. If you have warts, that means you have low-risk HPV, and it will most likely not cause cancer. However regular pap smears are still important. My gyno used a local anaesthetic and then cut them off (i had 3 small ones). She told me to take good care of myself and if i saw any more symptoms to come back. Avoid smoking and drinking, eat well and exercise and just take good care of your body and get good treatment. Eventually, your immune system should fight off the virus to the point of it being dormant, so it doesn't affect you or others anymore. It ussually takes about 6 months-2 years. Good luck and don't worry!

Answer 2

If you are a woman go to the doctor immediatley. They are linked to cervical cancer in women. Reportedly over 90% ov cervical cancer patients had this virus.

Genital warts (or condyloma, or condylomata acuminata) is a highly contagious sexually transmitted infection. Caused by some variants of the Human papillomavirus; it is spread during oral, genital, or anal sex with an infected partner. Genital warts (condylomata acuminata or venereal warts) are the most easily recognized sign of genital HPV infection. Most people who acquire those strains never develop warts or any other symptoms. HPV is also responsible for over 90% of all cases of cervical cancer.

Genital warts often disappear even without treatment. In other cases, they eventually may develop a fleshy, small raised growth. There is no way to predict whether the warts will grow or disappear.

Depending on factors such as the size and location of the genital warts, a doctor will offer one of several ways to treat them.

Imiquimod, (Aldara®) a topical immune response cream which can be applied to the affected area
A 20% podophyllin anti-mitotic solution, which can be applied to the affected area and later washed off
A 0.5% podofilox solution, applied to the affected area but should not be washed off
A 5% 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) cream
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA)
Pulsed dye laser
Liquid nitrogen cryosurgery

From experience the longer you leave it, the worse it gets. See a doctor ASAP and make sure that you ALWAYS use protection when sexually active to make sure you don't pass it on to an unsuspecting person.
