Surgical and Destructive Treatments for Genital Warts

There are several surgical and destructive treatments available for the treatment of Genital Warts, including cryotherapy, surgical excision, electrosurgery, and laser vaporization. All are very effective treatments of Genital Warts. However, after surgical intervention or chemical acids are used, one can expect a scar in that area.

Surgical removal of Genital Warts can be performed either with scissors, a scalpel, or by electrocautery. It is appropriate for any genital wart, but especially for large lesions causing obstruction. Scissors or scalpel excision is best mode of treatment when a tissue specimen to be submitted for histopathological examination is needed to rule out malignancy.

Larger lesions may require adequate anesthesia (local, regional, or general) and surgical instruments for hemostasis, because large genital warts are highly vascular. Patients also may experience significant post-procedure pain, especially when there is a large treatment area.

Electrosurgery involves either thermal coagulation or electrocautery, to destroy HPV affected lesions. Local anesthesia is needed to perform electrosurgery. There are two forms of electrosurgery. In the direct-current form of electrosurgery, termed electrocautery, electricity flows only through the instrument producing heat that is applied to the lesion.

In the alternating-current form of electrosurgery?electricity flows from the instrument through the patient to a grounding plate. The alternating current systems produce cutting, coagulation, or a blend of both. Fine-wire loops can be used for excision. Studies show a 61-94 percent clearance within 3-6 weeks of treatment.

Despite their effectiveness, electrosurgery should be considered second-line treatment. Two randomized trials show slightly greater efficacy for electrotherapy compared with cryotherapy; however, the differences in outcome is only short term and does not persist after 3 months of follow-ups.

The loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) has been compared with laser treatment for genital warts. Schoenfeld et al. studied 28 women and showed 86 percent of lesions treated with LEEP and 75 percent of lesions treated with a laser showed no HPV DNA within a 20-mm circumference of the treated lesion.

In clinical studies, 14-22 percent of patients have recurrences. They were reexamined for recurrence after 3 months; there were 4 patients who harbored HPV-DNA genomes on the laser-treated side, adjacent to the original lesion, compared to 1 patient who developed recurrence on the LEEP side in a more distant, previously untreated area.

Among all the types of genital warts cures, genital surgery subjects the patient to a highly invasive procedure. This method can be most unpleasant and ineffective, and can also create genital scarring. An alternative antiviral treatment is now available which represents a very promising solution to the growing epidemic of genital warts.

HPVCurative is a new, highly effective and potent way to cure genital warts. It is valued for its role in the realm of genital warts cures, and has provided total clearance of the infection time after time. It contains certified organic medicinal plant extracts and antiviral essential oils, which have demonstrated the ability to act as an HPV cure in laboratory tests.

Traditional theories postulated that once a person is infected, HPV remained in the body for a lifetime. However, new studies using sensitive DNA techniques have shown that an HPV cure is possible through immunological response. For example, studies on compounds to cure genital warts demonstrate that HPVCurative extracts created “significant destruction of HPV cells as evidenced from DNA tests.”

These studies further concluded that among other genital warts cures, HPVCurative best extracts “inhibited skin papillomas (HPV) and decreased the conversion of papillomas to carcinomas” which resulted in “significant apoptosis (disintegration) of HPV cells in DNA tests” without damaging surrounding healthy tissue.

HPVCurative has powerful medicinal properties that give it an amazing ability to reduce tumor growths resulting from HPV. The organic extracts in this treatment also stimulate immune functionality, thereby strengthening the immune system. To learn more, please go to http://www.bcured.net.
