Homeopathic treatment
Allopathy treatment
In allopathy or conventional medicine there is no cure for genital or anal warts
or parianal warts, as the virus cannot be destroyed once it enters the body. The
warts themseleves may be burned off with electrocautery or lasers; frozen with liquid
nitrogen for easy removal; or surgically removed.
Podophyllum resin, trichloroacetic acid, interferon inducers, 5-fluorouracil cream
can be used as a topical treatment. These medications require several weeks of treatment
and may irritate the skin.
Pregnant women should be sure to inform their health care provider of this condition,
as some of the medications may cause fetal abnormalities.
Unfortunately, regardless of the treatment regime in allopathy, genital or anal
warts have a high rate of recurrence.
Recurrence rates have been estimated to be over 50% after one year; and may be due
to the long incubation of HPV (upto 1.5 years), deep lesions, undetected lesions,
virus present in surrounding skin that is not treated.
Homeopathic treatment
Most people feel comfortable using homeopathic treatment for genital or anal
warts. It is considered as one of the safest forms of treatment, given the zero
side effects and the natural ingredients.
Homoeopathy offers promising results to treat
all types of illnesses including warts. It is safe and can be taken along with other
medications. It treats ailments from within. The therapy has no known side effects and addictive elements.
It is a painless approach
as compared to surgery, laser therapy, cryotherapy or freezing and other invasive
treatments that focus on warts removal alone.
Homoeopathy works closely and in harmony with the immune system to attack the virus
without suppressing it. There are better results and benefits if the disease is treated in the early stages.
If the genital or perianal warts are already in the advance state, and the virus is aggressive, then it takes longer to reap the results.
Given all the options, it is you who will choose which type of treatment is suitable
for your condition whether homeopathy or allopathy (conventional medicine).
There are 49 medicines for genital warts in homeopathy. However, the correct choice and
the resulting relief is a matter of experience and right judgment on the part of
the doctor. The treatment is decided after thorough case taking of the patient.
Thus remedies are designer made unlike allopathy in which all patients receive the
same surgery or drugs although trade name may be different.

How much do you know about anal or genital warts
It is a growing meat with or without color that are often caused by some type of
Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), the same virus that causes warts on the hands, feet,
and face. Warts can grow anywhere in the body. Warts that grown in the genital area
are genital warts (condyloma acuminata), also called veneral warts.
Genital or anal warts are the most common sexually transmitted disease (STD) in
the general population of the developed countries, like USA and now it is also getting
very common in India also.
It is estimated that 1% of sexually active people between the ages of 18 & 45
have genital or perianal warts; however, studies indicate that as many as 40% of
sexually active adults may carry the virus that causes genital or anal warts. Certain
strains of the virus that cause genital or perianal warts may also cause cervical
changes in the uterus and cancer. Several studies have shown that 90 percent of
women who have cervical cancer also had genital warts.
How do genital or anal warts look like
Genital or perianal warts are growth or bumps which are painless, pink or greyish
in color that appear on the vulva, in or around the entrance to the vagina or anus,
on the cervix of uterus, and on the penis, scrotum, groin or thigh.
The appearance can vary from person to person. There may be a single wart or a cluster,
they may be raised or flat, can be itchy or painless.
How do you get (Human Papilloma Virus) HPV or genital or anal warts
Genital or anal warts most commonly affect sexually active men and women between
the ages of 18 to 45, but the infection can be found in all age groups and in both
homosexuals and heterosexuals.
Because the virus can sit dormant on the skin without causing warts, they can affect
people who have not been sexually active for a number of years. Human Papilloma
Virus (HPV) and genital or anogenital warts are most commonly spread by direct,
skin-to-skin contact during vaginal, anal or oral sex with someone who already has
the infection. They tend to appear 2 to 3 months after exposure to the virus but
this varies to person to person.
Is it normal to feel upset about having genital or anal warts
Some people feel upset and angry so it is important to know that you are not alone
and it is a problem that can be managed effectively with proper homoeopathic treatment.
Risk factors for contracting include:
- Multiple sex partners.
- Infection with another sexually transmitted disease (STD).
- Pregnancy.
- Anal intercourse.
- Poor personal hygiene.
- Heavy perspiration.
Diagnosis of genital or anal warts
Genital or anogenital warts are usually identified and diagnosed by their characteristic
appearance. A sexual history is taken, and tests for other STDs may be advised.
If cervical warts are suspected, a COLPOSCOPY exam to view the cervix is necessary
for diagnosis.
A pap smear may be performed, and the doctor may order a biopsy of the warts to
rule out cancer.
Sexual partners should be diagnosed and treated as well. Because of the connection
between certain strains of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and cervical cancer, infected
women should also have yearly pap smears.
Herbal therapy for genital or anal warts
Apply garlic or the juice of a sour apple, a dandelion stalk, a fresh pineapple,
or fresh green figs. Calendula juice and the sap of a celandine stalk applied to
the area may be beneficial as well. All have properties that are therapeutic to
skin conditions.
Several ways to prevent Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) from spreading
- Sexual partners should be checked.
- Refrain from sexual activity until treatment is completed.
- Use condoms; they offer some but not complete protection. Because genital or anal
warts are highly contagious, condoms will lessen the chance of recurrence.
- Eat healthy diet, quit smoking. Daily exercise will help your body's immune system
which in turn will fight the Human Papilloma virus (HPV). Smoking affects the body's
ability to fight infection and women who smoke often take longer to clear the wart
viruses. Smoking is also a risk factor for the development of cervical cancer.
- Do not try any home remedies or over-the-counter drugs to remove warts on the genital
or anogenital area. The genital or anal area is too sensitive for these products
and you could damage your skin.
