What are the side effects? What is it exactly? My doctor acted like it wasn't a big deal. I read you can get rid of it... I'm so confused. Can someone answer who actually has an INSIGHT.

There is NO "cure" for HPV because it is a virus, however, most women are able to get rid of the virus on their own. Their bodies can basically "fight it off" and get rid of it.

When most people think of a "cure" they think of getting rid of something with drugs, therapy, natural remedies, etc. So, since there are no drugs or therapy to actually rid the virus from the body then there is technically no "cure".

Since HPV is a virus though, and there are no cures for viruses, some people will have the virus their entire life and are unable to get rid of it. And, just because a person might have gotten rid of the virus doesn't mean they can't contract it again in the future. They can always contract the virus again if they have sex with someone who has it or they come in DIRECT skin to skin contact with the infected area of someone who has it.

1..Symptoms you may not have symptoms:
Irritation.
Itching.
Bleeding.

2.What is it?
A specific cause for cervical cancer has been discovered: the human papillomavirus (HPV). In most cases, HPV infections are not "active" long enough to cause problems. However, if an infection with a "high-risk" type of HPV persists, abnormal cells may develop - and turn into cervical cancer if not detected and treated early

3.Treatments for genital warts include medications, freezing, laser, or surgery.

No, there's no cure. Gardisal is a vaccine that protects against 4 types of HPV. There are still many other strains of HPV that aren't protected.

Treatment:
Treatments for genital warts include medications, freezing, laser, or surgery.

The type of medical treatment for genital warts will depend on:

The number, size, and location of warts.
The side effects of treatment.
The skill of the health professional for each treatment option.
The cost of treatment, which varies depending on:
The cost of medication.
Any specialized equipment used.
The number of treatments needed.
The problems caused by the warts (such as blockage of the urethra).
Your preference.
Medications
Health professionals often recommend medication applied to warts (topical drug treatment) as the first choice of treatment. A health professional will apply medications that have a high risk of causing damage to the skin around the warts; you can apply others at home.

Topical medications applied by a health professional include:

Podophyllin resin (Podofin).
Intralesional (injected into wart lesion) interferon.
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or bichloroacetic acid (BCA).
Fluorouracil (Efudex, Fluoroplex).
Topical medications available by prescription but can be applied at home include:

Imiquimod (Aldara).
Podofilox lotion or gel (Condylox).
Surgical methods that may be used include:

Electrocautery.
Laser surgery.
Surgical excision.
Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP).
Cryotherapy may be done to freeze genital warts.

Treatment considerations
Without treatment, external genital warts may remain unchanged, increase in size or number, or go away. Studies show that no one treatment is completely successful because there is no cure for genital warts. All treatments have advantages and disadvantages. The benefits and effectiveness of each treatment need to be compared with the side effects and cost.

Recurrence rates vary from method to method. Recurrence is most frequent in the first 3 months after treatment. People with an impaired immune system may have more frequent recurrences after treatment than other people. 1 It is difficult to know whether a recurrence of genital warts is a new infection or an unsuccessfully treated infection.

For women, an HPV infection that causes an abnormal Pap test will be treated differently than HPV that causes visible genital warts. For more information, see the topic Abnormal Pap Test.

Several choices of treatment for pregnant women have been found to be effective and safe, including medications and surgery.


Treatment for genital warts does not eliminate the HPV infection. You may still be able to spread the infection. Condoms may help reduce the risk of HPV infection, though studies have not shown how much protection they provide.
Treatment of genital warts can be painful, and warts return after treatment in between 20% and 50% of people. Warts that return after being treated usually are not treated again unless you want to be retreated. If you do, you would usually choose a different form of treatment.

They aren't many proven solutions out there, and actually those who are generally applied do not provide permanent results. As an example, physicians usually suggest operative techniques to remove moles and warts but with this particular manual, Moles, Warts and Skin Tags Removal from here you will discover out that's still another way https://tr.im/HyC6e
When you may use Moles, Warts and Skin Tags Removal system you will feel therefore far better about yourself.  You will have the ability to head out again, without any embarrassment at all since this method works on every type of mole, skin label, and wart.  It's actually safe to utilize for genital warts. 
The very best part of Moles, Warts and Skin Tags Removal program is you will not have any scars or other spot as soon as your draw is gone.

No cure, only a vaccination for certain types. Get the vaccination if you don't already have HPV because it is so common that "28.6% of women age 14-59 tested positive for one or more strains of the disease."
