Determining the Best Treatment for Genital Warts

December 21, 2009 by admin 

Genital infection by HPV is very common in sexually active adults. Most infections do not result in the manifestation of Genital Warts. The annual incidence of Genital Warts is 1-2 percent of the sexually active population. Genital Warts are not themselves cancerous, but warts caused by high risk types of HPV are predisposed to oncogenic transformation. All female patients with anogenital warts should be considered at risk for cervical, vaginal, and vulvar dysplasia, which can lead to cancer and death.

There is vaccine for the prevention of infection with high-risk HPV subtypes. Treatments for genital warts can be classified as topical, surgical, destructive, or immunomodulatory. There are systemic treatments of warts that involve interferon, retinoids, and cimetidine. Selection of a treatment modality may depend on the number, size, and location of lesions. There is little certainty that one approach is more effective than another, although costs differ.

It seems that the use of podophyllin should be limited to instances where side effects are discounted, and that compliance and medication cost are the dominant factors. Because of high cost and inconsistent effect, interferon is a treatment of last resort. Although imiquimod has few side effects and a low recurrence rate, it is expensive, requires protracted application, and is no more effective than the much less expensive podophyllotoxin.

Cryotherapy is quick, easy, safe and relatively inexpensive. Thus cryotherapy is first line treatment for genital warts in pregnant women and in patients who tolerate the pain associated with application. Surgical excision and destruction are advantageous because of their immediate definitiveness and clearance of infected tissue but can be expensive, painful, and frightening. They should only be used in appropriate patients.

In summary, surgical excision is the most cost-effective treatment for simple and extensive warts and podophyllotoxin is the most cost effective medical treatment for simple and extensive warts. Determining the best treatment for genital warts takes into account efficacy, needs, preferences, financial resources and convenience to the patient.

Skin is comprised of the epidermis, and the dermis which is referred to as the true skin. The epidermis has 7 layers which protect and surrounds the true skin. Because the true skin is the reservoir of nourishment, it is the area where most dermatological problems begin and where the root of a wart resides. This is why surgery to remove warts is so highly invasive, it must dig deep through all dermal layers, only to yield unsuccessful results when the warts reappear, despite best surgical efforts, the entire infection is almost never entirely cut out.

Some of the most impressive results consistently achieved with medicinal plants are in the elimination of warts. The antiviral activities of our antiwarts treatments are well documented and principally due to their direct effect to eradicate the HPV virus. HPVCurative contains certified organic medicinal plant extracts and antiviral essential oils, which have demonstrated the ability to act as an HPV cure in laboratory tests.

Viruses exhibit rapid rates of mutation which can make immunity difficult to sustain. Once a cell is infected it is difficult to selectively inhibit the virus without harming the host cell. As a result, much interest has focused on plants as strong allies in restoring immune strength and inhibiting the spread of viral diseases.

The treatment is painless and provides superb results when compare to other HPV cures. It eliminates genital warts and restores skin tissue to the state it was in prior to the infection. Since the treatment can effectively remove genital warts and wart-like substances on the genitals, acid or surgical HPV cures may soon become a thing of the past.

We use plant extracts for our genital warts cures that are produced in very limited quantities, and are not available in the commercial market due to scarcity. These medicinal plant extracts are purchased directly by CURED from cultivators in Sri Lanka and Madagascar. To learn more, please go to http://www.bcured.net.
