My friend developed 'Ganital Warts', please advise treatment.?

Answer 1

Every person is different. What works well for some people, may not work well for others. If someone has genital warts they should see their doctor. There are several different ways a person can get rid of them.

A doctor can prescribe a cream that the person can use at their convenience and at their home. Aldara cream and Condylox cream are available with a prescription.

If these creams don't work or the doctor doesn't want to try them, the doctor might suggest applying medication at the office. This is done by the doctor, is done in several visits and can be pretty expensive. Some of the medications that can be used include: Podophyllin resin (Podofin), Intralesional (injected into wart lesion) interferon, Fluorouracil (Efudex, Fluoroplex), and Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or bichloroacetic acid (BCA).

A person can also have surgery to remove genital warts by freezing (cryosurgery), burning (electrocautery), or laser treatment. Surgery is occasionally used to remove large warts that have not responded to other treatment.

Although treatments can get rid of the warts, they do not get rid of HPV, so warts can recur after treatment. The body's immune system typically clears the virus anywhere from 8 to 13 months, but it occasionally remains in the body for a lifetime.

Take care!

Answer 2

Your friends doctor will advise him/her about treatment after identifying the warts. Most genital warts may be self-treated by applying Podophyllotoxin paint, but it is important to note that this cannot be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The paint is available from pharmacies without a prescription, & comes with full instructions for use. If you cannot see or reasch your warts, or if they have not disappeared a week after completing self-treatment your doctor will freeze or burn them off. Although warts usually disappear after treatment, recurrence is common & a check is advised every 3 months for a year in case any new warts have appeared. If your sexual partner has warts,they should be treated at the same time.

Genital warts can be treated or not treated. Some people may want warts removed if they cause itching, burning, and discomfort. Others may want to clear up visible warts. If you decide to have warts removed, do NOT use over-the counter medicines meant for other kinds of warts. There are special treatments for genital warts. Your doctor may treat genital warts by applying a chemical in the office. Or your doctor may prescribe a cream that you apply at home. Surgery is also an option. Surgical treatments include:

Electrocautery. An electric current is used to burn off the warts.
Laser treatment. Light is used to destroy warts.
Cryosurgery. Warts are frozen off.
Cutting them out.
Even after the warts are treated, the virus (genital HPV) may remain, and warts can return. For this reason, it is not clear if treating the genital warts lowers a person's chance of giving the virus (genital HPV) to a sex partner or not. If left untreated, genital warts may go away, remain unchanged, or increase in size or number. They will not turn into cancer. It is not fully known why low-risk HPV causes genital warts in some cases and not in others.

Answer 4

Take your dog to the vet. Antibiotics wont help since most warts are caused by viruses. If the wart is causing the dog discomfort or could lead to a tumor developing, the vet will probably advise the wart should be removed. The vet may do this with liquid nitrogen which is relatively painless. Once removed, as long as the dog is otherwise healthy, the wound will soon heal. Good luck.

Answer 5

See a doctor, or go to an anonymous STD clinic. They are relatively easy to get rid of. Depending on if they are internal or external, you may simply need to use a topical cream such as Aldera. If they are internal you must get it removed by a surgeon.

If you remove external warts with a cream and still have remaining internal warts, the external warts will come back after a few days to a week.

She needs to see a gyno. ASAP! There is nothing over the counter. And don't be shy, it's not "your friend", is it? It's you, right? Genital Warts are VERY CONTAGIOUS and can mess with your fertility! If you can't afford a doctor and are too embarassed to ask your family to take you, consult Planned Parenthood or your local health department. They can usually offer a huge discount or it's free. You also need to let whoever gave you this that they did this and anyone else you or they slept with as it can be symptomless. And use condoms from now on, PLEASE! GOOD LUCK!

Answer 7

Your friend is going to have to see a doctor because it spreads to the uterus and can make her infertile. They are burnt off under anesthetic. It can also be painful and uncomfortable so a doctor can give creams and meds to ease the discomfort.
