Question About Genitile Warts Posted: 09-03-04 21:46pm
I've been fighting with what I thought was
hemorrhoids for about five months now. I
went to a doctor clinic a couple months
ago, doc took a quick look at them, and
prescribed some hemorrhoid suppositories,
and cream. I used them religiously for a
couple months with no improvement.
So today I decided to go to another doctor
a friend recommended. The doctor looked
at them, and quickly responded with "
that's not hemorrhoids, that's pulips."
this would explain why none of the
medicine has worked. The only pulips i'm
familure with is the ones related to being
screened for colon cancer. I asked her if
I could be at risk or anything, and she
said no. That I have genitile warts.
Naturally this leaves me with more
questions than answers. I've been in a
very long term relationship with my
girlfriend, I have been faithful to her,
and I have no reason to believe she has
not been faithful to me. Neither her nor
myself has ever had any warts on are
genitiles, except around her eighth month
of pregnancy she noticed two small "warts"
beside her vagina. She asked her doctor
about them, and he said "she had genitile
warts, it is common to see them appear in
later stages of pregnancy when the mothers
immune system isn't it's strongest". He
said "chances are they will go away after
the baby is born, and we may never see
them again". Sure enough, our daughter
was born, they went away, and she has had
no farther problems since then (about 5
months).
So she gave me genitile warts, I
understand that much, but how on earth did
I get it on my anus? I have never engaged
in anal sex, or anything anal with my
girlfriend, or anybody else for that
matter. My doctor was asking me a few
questions about my sexual practice today.
I answered her truthfully, but I dont
think she really believed me (how
embaressing). I understand they or super
contagous. I guess I scratch my butt as
much as the next guy, but could that of
spread something like this that easy, and
if possible should I take extra precaution
on not passing this to my daughter when
changing diaper, or basic handling of her?
Anyhow, I apreciate it if some one could
shed some light on how this might of
happened. Thanks for any replys. By the
way, I originally posted inquiring
information on another section of this
forum when I was under the impression I
had hemorrhoids, sorry for double post.

Flippen,
hpv (genital warts) are only contracted
via skin to skin or fluid to fluid
contact. Therefore, you do not need to
worry about giving them to your daughter.
I am not sure how you contracted them on
your anus without having sexual contact in
that region. Nevertheless you will have
hpv always because it is a viral disease.
You may not always have visible warts but
the virus remains latent within you. It
is possible for your daughter to of
contracted the virus via the birth canal
through delivery. She would of contracted
them in her throat most likely and only if
your girlfriend had visible warts along
her birth canal. You are safe to say that
your daughter though, does not have hpv
and you also don't need to worry about
giving the virus to her.
Hope this helped. Best of luck!

Well my daughter was born through
c-section, so I believe she should be safe
then. I'm starting to get alittle
worried the more people tell me " they
dont know how it could of got on my anus"
there has got to be some sort of a
reasonable explination for how this
happened.

If any fluid went around the area by touch
or skin contact or anything else it could
have easily gone to that area without
having had anal intercourse. I can't
believe a doctor couldn't tell you that.
I believe once you have it it can spread
to other areas in the genital region when
you have active warts. Hope this helped.

Actually it did help. I guess it is
possible that her female fluid dripped
down there during sex. I'm currently
treating them with "condylox" prescribed
by doctor. I treat twice a day for three
days, and discontinue use for four days.
Hope this stuff works.. It's expensive as
all hell, cost $160 for a super small
tube, and it burns like the motha!
