Once again, the human pappilloma virus (HPV) rears its ugly head. This time transmitted through sexual contact, it has landed and taken up residence in a woman's vagina. And knowing that it is the most common virus in existence, knowing that there are 50 million people infected with HPV, doesn't help. There is a degree of shame and humiliation once it is recognized that forces a lot of people to not see a doctor and makes others feel odd about sex. There are at least one hundred different types of HPV and thirty of them are transmitted sexually.
With that many HPV bugs flying around and with a sexually active population, it's a wonder the entire world isn't infected by now. Fortunately, there are a variety of medicines and herbal solutions for this embarrassing problem that are specially formulated for women and that work fairly well to kill the virus and stop the infection from spreading. One treatment technique attacks the wart itself with alkaloids. This has the effect of alerting the body's auto immune system that something is wrong. It then sends out armies of white blood cells to remove the intruder and in the process, it rids itself of the HPV virus and the wart it has produced.
Like all other HPV infections, the virus remains in the host's body. However, now that your body knows it's there, proper maintenance, boosting the immune system and frequent washing of the affected area can keep repeated attacks to a minimum.
Other treatments for vaginal warts include the use of acids, dry ice, freezing, burning or laser treatments and surgical removal. While these are mostly effective in removing the offending tissue, they do almost nothing to eliminate future outbreaks and they are costly and can be quite painful. There are a variety of treatments that should be discussed with your doctor so that you may decide which one is the best for you.

A Guide to Warts Warts are caused by human pappilloma virus (HPV). They are a harmless, non-cancerous skin growth that sometimes go away on their own in a matter of a few months and can usually be treated quickly and easily without any further complications.
Genital Wart Symptoms When genital wart symptoms do appear, the wart itself is usually invisible or sometimes it stays underneath the outermost skin layer and does not break through. If they do break through they can be in a variety of different shapes and sizes. They can be large or they can be too small to be seen by the naked eye. They can be individual or they can come in clusters or groups.
A Guide to Anal Warts Anal warts, known in the medical profession as condyloma, are growths caused by infection by the HP virus and are usually found on the skin around the anus (rectal opening), inside the anal canal or in the lower rectum.
A Look at Genital Warts The most common types of HPV are the culprits behind the cause of genital warts. The good news is that this type of wart usually goes away on its own, requiring little or no treatment in the process. For this reason there is a split in medical opinion about the best course of action to take when confronted with a case of genital warts.
