10 Genital warts remedies suggested by our users
Genital warts also known as condylomata acuminate or venereal warts, are caused by Human Pappiloma Virus (HPV). They generally occur around the genital area like anus, cervix, penis, rectum, scrotum, vulva and vagina. They are either flat or cauliflower-like shaped. People with many sexual partners and those who do not practice safe sex are at greater risk of getting infected. Genital warts mainly occur among young people around 20 years of age. Sexual intercourse causes friction which results in the abrasion of the uppermost layer of the skin. This causes minute tears in the surface of the skin which are not even visible to the naked eye. The virus from the infected individual is then transferred to his/her partner through direct skin-to-skin contact. Genital, anal, and oral sex are the mains causes of HPV transmission and indulging in unprotected sex with an infected individual will invariably cause a transmission of the virus. When the HPV viral infection is dormant, the individual will not display warts or any of the other symptoms associated with this condition. However, if the infection is in the active stage, the warts will be quite noticeable. 70% of all individuals who have unprotected sex with a person suffering from an active HPV infection will in turn get genital herpes. Some types of HPV can cause or increase an individual’s risk of suffering from cervical, penile, or anal cancers. However, the type of virus that causes genital warts is not the same as these cancer causing strains. Genital warts treatment will depend on the severity of the warts as well as the progression of the condition. The initial stages of this condition will require potent medications but the medication may be changed after a while. This is because the immune response of an infected individual’s immune system gets stronger with each active phase of the infection and so in many cases, the incidence of genital warts keeps decreasing. It is important to note that the entire course of genital warts treatment must be followed and even if you are not in the active phase of this condition, you may still be able to pass this condition on to your partner. Genital warts treatment in men will vary in cost as there are several over the counter medications and prescription medications available for this condition. Female genital warts home treatment and genital warts home treatment in men may differ and so it is important to consult a doctor before deciding on a method of treatment.

An infected person may feel itching or burning sensation around the genital area. Warts may cause discomfort during sexual intercourse. Sometimes it may also cause bleeding. Tiny bumps or swelling of red, grey or pink color may be seen around the genitals. Affected area may be more moist than normal. In women, genital warts can cause symptoms like abnormal vaginal bleeding or increased vaginal discharge.
Sometimes there may not be any visible symptoms like bumps, lesions or swelling. In such cases a closed medical examination of the skin around the genital is the only way to diagnose the genital warts. Transmission of HPV through sexual contact usually takes three months to develop the symptoms. However, sometimes there may be no symptoms for years. Genital warts symptoms in women generally include small fleshy skin growths which may appear on the inside and the outside of the vagina. It can also appear on the cervix walls or inside and around the anus. Genital warts symptoms in men include cauliflower-like clusters around the penis and scrotum. Genital warts may also be present in the urethra and on or inside the anus. Genital warts symptoms in men are different from those of the warts in women and pictures and images are often used to illustrate the differences between the two.

Through Sexual Contact
Genital wart is a sexually transmitted disease. It can spread through any form of sexual contact with the infected person. It can also spread by touching the genitals of the infected person. Genital warts are a sexually transmitted infection and so protected sex is a must. Using a condom has been proven to drastically reduce one’s risk of contracting this condition through sexual intercourse. A condom is necessary even when indulging in oral sex or anal sex. It is best to use a latex condom along with a water-based lube and not an oil-based one as this will help to reduce abrasion of the skin and reduce the risk of the condom tearing.

Apply apple cider vinegar to the affected area using cotton ball. Like garlic, onions too have strong antimicrobial agents which help to control infection. Salt is a humectants which means that it helps to draw out the moisture and fluids from the slices of onion. Salt is also a mild antiseptic and so the liquid obtained from applying salt to onion slices will have antiseptic properties which will help to control the spread of the genital warts. This genital warts natural treatment may cause a little discomfort and burning if the area around the warts is sore. Apple cider vinegar is acidic in nature and this will help to slough of dead skin cells from the surface of the warts.

Genital warts

| The apple cider vinegar works in 3 days. I found shaving the hair around the wart makes the band aid stick better. Use the small clear spot bandages to hold on the small, b-b size cotton ball soaked in ACV. Replace it 2 times a day, before work and before bed. Sometimes they will fall off in 2 days. |
Milkweed milk for genital warts
suggested by Greg on Wednesday, April 30, 2008

| The sap from an injured milkweed plant is very effective at inducing your body to eliminate the genital wart virus (HPV). If you have access to a plant just clip off a leaf and collect the white milky sap into some sort of small container. If applied straight to the infected skin the milk will be too strong so dilute to about 10% by using a quality lotion, maybe one that contains aloe and vitamin E. Continue treatment twice a day for 2 weeks and your genital warts will disappear. |

| Apple cider vinegar works for the ladies too. It did miracles for me! Just relapsed after 2 and a 1/2 years. I started smoking. But I'm stopping forever now. ACV is working again. On the way to go buy some garlic now. |
Apple Cider Vinegar

This is through my own experience. For men only, sorry ladies. Apple Cider Vinegar will still work for you but the following description for application only work if you have a penis. And this is only for infection on the shaft and head, not the scrotum. I found that garlic is extremely painful and really just destroys the skin so you're not treating the wart per se, you're just destroying the skin that its occupying. After months and months of research and painful trial and error I discovered Apple Cider Vinegar. Applying it with a cotton swab won't be enough so I came up with a way to leave it on for hours at a time and still go about your day. You'll need to cut strips of paper towel thick enough for you to wrap your penis a couple times. Also a strip of plastic wrap about the same size. Soak the paper towel in the vinegar and squeeze off excess. Now wrap this around your shaft and head making sure to cover all infected areas. Now wrap that with the plastic wrap. This will prevent it from soaking into your underwear or pants. This should be kept on for at least 2-3 hours. When you remove the wrap you should see that all the warts have turned white. Wipe down your penis with a wet paper towel and dry it off. The skin will be slightly sensitive after a couple hours of wrap so don't mess with it. This should be done every day until all the warts scab up. Once they start scabbing up you should continue to do the wrap for just a few more days. Now stop wrapping apply vitamin E oil to the scabs everyday to help them heal and wait for the scabs to fall off. DON"T PEEL THE SCABS!! When your penis is scab free you should repeat the whole process over. One cycle will take you about three weeks. I know it's a long process but its worth it to be wart free. The reason I say to repeat this is because some of the warts are so small you won't even see them. A table spoon of Apple Cider Vinegar with a glass of hot water every morning won't hurt either. The vinegar is known for its virus fighting properties. Try not to masturbate because the skin will be sensitive from the vinegar. If you do, make sure you clean up immediately to make sure you don't spread more of the infection on yourself. Eat well, exercise, and you will be healthy before you know it. Good Luck!
