| HPV and Cervical Cancer |
 | While HPV infection is the leading cause of cervical cancer, in reality it is very rare for HPV infection to progress to cancer with proper treatment. 60 to 80 % of CIN 1 dysplasias resolve on their own, and only about 1% of cases progress to invasive cervical cancer. |

Wouldn't it be nice to eliminate your Genital Warts once and for all, quickly, with minimal effort, in the privacy of your own home? Of course it would. I struggled for months with expensive prescription drugs and various PAINFUL surgical methods of removal. If you've been through them yourself you know what I mean!
After researching on the Internet that there is no cure for genital warts and HPV (the virus that causes them) I made it my mission to try every genital wart removal method out there and now am sharing the results with you. There may be no magic cure for genital warts but there is hope to eliminate them! Article continues below.
I know you want your genital warts gone now. While I do encourage you to read my story, I don't encourage you to buy or try anything until you've seen a doctor for proper diagnosis. I must stress I am not a Doctor or a Pharmacist - I am just someone who suffered like you are suffering now from genital warts.
Prescription Medications For Genital Warts
The first thing I did was talk to my Doctor. He wrote me a prescription and sent me on my way. Since I did not have health insurance at the time let me tell you that $200+ bill for the medicine he prescribed me put me DEEP in a hole. But I was desperate to get these ugly genital warts off my body!
I diligently applied the medicine as prescribed for the the full 4 week treatment cycle. (Which was painful enough..i wanted them gone NOW!) And the results were...horrible.
My skin turned red and began flaking off I constantly itched I was in pain for 30 minutes to an hour after using it.
Maybe that means its working I thought? I was wrong. While it looked like a warzone down there, the genital warts stayed put. When I went back to the doctor a month later he told me "Well the prescription cream only works in about 30% of people..." then he added "you're not going to like what I have to do next"
Surgical Removal Of Genital Warts
Thats when he brought out what looked like some kind of oil can. He told me he was going to perform "Cryosurgery" which to me sounded like something out of a sci-fi movie. Basically Cryosurgery involves freezing the warts with sub zero degree liquid nitrogen. Sound painful?
It was.
I challenge you to go through cryosurgery for genital warts without shedding a tear! I cringe just thinking back to those days. Whats worse once the treatment (more like torture) is over, I had to wait two weeks for the warts to scab over and fall off. During that time:
It was not pretty down there (ugly black scabs which looked worse than the warts) The scabs itched really bad For the first 24 Hours it was actually painful to walk For the next two weeks the entire area was painful to the touch.
Well after two weeks of waiting my genital warts suddenly did just fall off. Great I thought! Genital Wart Free! A week later...the genital warts were back. This time worse than before and in greater numbers.
Well it was back to the doctor for yet ANOTHER expensive visit where he informed me that with Cryosurgery you are only removing the genital warts and not killing the underlying HPV virus so more often than not genital warts grow back. What good is that?

Here is some more of my extensive research |
| Genital Warts can be physically removed by a skilled clinician | |
|
According to the Association of Reprodictive Health Professionals, "Even left untreated, most HPV lesions would eventually disappear due to an immune response". This can be a long process however as spontaneous clearance can take months or never occur at all in some. The option to remove genital warts to get rid of the symptoms of HPV can be much more appealing. Here are some of the methods which are used by Doctors today to treat genital warts.
Cryotherapy (freezing) - warts are sprayed with liquid nitrogen after a few days warts scab over and fall off
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) - an acidic solution is applied to destroy the skin at the site of the wart. May require more than one office visit
Alpha Interferon - an antiviral drug which can be injected at the site of the wart.
