Q: Treating genital warts ?

asked by: DoctorQuestion on March 15th, 2009

With the symptoms I will list here, first do you have any ideas of what could be the cause, burning after intercourse (only when he ejaculates in me, PAP came back
abnormal with Atypical Squamous Cells of Undetermined Significance
(ASCUS. Now strange bumps near the anal region.

Now, i think the bumps may be genital warts, I had my pap test done not long ago, would my doctor not have noticed if i had them in my vagina too? Also, i have read a lot about genital warts and I would like to know if it is actually possible for them to go away on their own. As well, is there any way without actually seeing a doctor that you can do something to make them stop?

According to the symptoms you reported, you might be experiencing genital warts in the anal area. However, this diagnose can not be confirmed without seeing the bumps.
Genital warts are caused by Human papillomavirus (HPV). Once the virus enters the body, it can manifest itself with genital warts or can stay dormitory. Once the immune system is weakened, the genital warts can appear again. The genital warts usually need treatment and rarely disappear on their own, but can come back at any time at it can not be predicted.
The medications and methods needed to treat the genital warts are to be used only after recommendation by a doctor, since some of them are contraindicated in some specific conditions.
