hi,

can anybody answer this please???? i just recently knew that i have a human papilloma virus that i got this from my husband then is it ok if we have sex now that we found out i got a disease from him.

second question: i just read some articles about this that theres no cure what im gonna do?

a small surgery may remove them some time are painful tho..

Then my pap smear in August came back within normal range. The HPV types that originally were shown were the high risk types. I never had any genital warts of any kind.

About the same time I found out about the HPV, my doctor removed some moles from my back and one near my genital area. She froze them off. They all went away except for that one. Now that has turned into a tiny white bumpy, califlower growth about 1/4 inch in size, flat. I was only with my former BF maybe twice, or three times after I found out and we used protection. Could this be a genital wart?

Thanks.

Please check out a lot of wonderful information on eHealth Forum on HPV. You may have one of the types that only causes genital warts. If you are a young woman of child bearing age, you will need to have your doctor sit down and talk to you about the other types of HPV.

I have had it for a year and my life hasn't changed much. They say 80% of all sexually active people will develop HPV in their lifetime. For the most part, our bodies can overcome the virus. Please don't let this bring you grief. We all get it from somebody we love, one way or another I guess.

Many of the helpful and very informed people on this forum tell me you can never tell where you got it exactly. I believe them. But, I know in my heart where I got it. My former BF had other partners. I knew the minute I came down with a bad vaginal infection. One I never had in my life. That is when I went to my doctor. She tested me.

Make certain that you have a doctor you can talk to and who will give you valid and caring advise. My doctor (the GYN) wasn't too concerned. He told me not to ruin my sex life over it. Honestly. That was because he hadn't seen the original results from the laboratory.

One thing I know is it hasn't ruined my life. Take care of yourself. That is number one. And, don't feel there is no way out of this thing. I am living proof that there is.

although it is debated until now if our body can get rid of the virus totally, But some studies proves to be working, or maybe it's just me. I guess you also have a healthy life style (Non-smoker, etc.) Strong immune system also help plus some medication. Good luck

can this disease effect the chances of falling pregnant?

I completely agree with you.You have done an great job.. Such an informative and well formed post!Thanks for sharing that, it was wonderful of you.Thanks for the nice collection of this posts.!!!This is really good information.

Genital warts (sometimes called condylomata acuminata or venereal warts) are the most easily recognized sign of genital HPV infection. Many people, however, have a genital HPV infection without genital warts.

Genital warts are soft, moist, or flesh colored and appear in the genital area within weeks or months after infection. They sometimes appear in clusters that resemble cauliflower-like bumps, and are either raised or flat, small or large. Genital warts can show up in women on the vulva and cervix, and inside and surrounding the vagina and anus. In men, genital warts can appear on the scrotum or penis. There are cases where genital warts have been found on the thigh and groin.

Genital warts, sometimes called venereal warts, are growths or bumps contracted through sexual contact. They're caused by certain types of the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

HPV is a very common thing. Although it seems shameful and a little upsetting since it's a STD,but it's not the end of the world. Since men normally don't show signs as well as women it's often hard to physically tell if your partner has it. If you keep up regular gyno appts. you will be just fine. If the abnormal cells do turn into cancer, it is a very slow process. If found there is a EXTREMELY high percentage of people who live on to their normal lives. The only downside is the physical symptoms such as the warts, and if you have an outbreak when you are pregnant and going into labor it might force you to have a c-section or a painful natural birth due to the warts tearing and bleeding.

A great book to pick up is Jane Semple's HPV and Cervical Dysplasia: A Naturopathic Approach. It offers lots of tips/treatments to help your body rid itself of HPV.

Hi,

Treatment methods for genital warts STD infections include, but are not limited to prescription medications such as Imiqiumod, Fluorouracil, and Trichloracetic acid, as well as surgical excision methods. These include laser therapy, cryotherapy, and electrosurgery. Since genital warts STD is highly infectious, if your partner suffers from this infection you will also need to get tested for the infection.

There is also available now for genital warts STD infections, a vaccine called Gardasil. This is recommended be administered to young girls ideally before the onset of sexual relations, and between the ages of 9 and 26, in a number of three dosages. This is necessary for a number of reasons chief of which is the fact that some strains of the genital warts STD virus, if left untreated can lead to more serious conditions such as cancer.
