Vaginal warts are the result of the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), which is contracted through sexual relations. There’s currently no cure for this virus and when you’ve got the virus you have got it for life. The symptoms of the virus will be dealt with though.

Sadly, it will be very troublesome to know if you’ve got contracted the virus as a ton of individuals who have it show no symptoms at all. Where symptoms do crop up they manifest in the form of warts, which will seem around the genitals and anus, and occasionally within the mouth.

What can begin out as tiny warts will typically grow in a cauliflower like cluster and become quite large. Their size may grow to the point that they will cause an obstruction within the vagina which can make delivery of a baby tough in pregnant women.

Pregnancy can be a notably troublesome time for women infected with HPV because the body’s immune system is weaker throughout pregnancy and is less able to ward off the HPV virus that causes female genital warts.

There are various treatments available for dealing with female genital warts, though as previously noted, there’s no cure for the HPV virus, so all treatments just deal with the symptoms.

Creams and solutions are available from your doctor, though it’s likely that they’ll need to be appied by the doctor and are usually not appropriate for internal application, as well as not being suitable throughout pregnancy.

Different treatments come with cryotherapy treatment, where the wart if frozen off by making use of liquid nitrogen. Frequent treatments are sometimes needed. There’s also laser treatment, where the wart is burnt off, but this tends to be reserved for difficult to get rid of warts that have resisted different treatments.

Electrocautery (where an electrical current is applied) is on occasion used to burn off the warts. Surgery is sometimes even used to cut off the warts, but for this the patient needs to be under anesthetic.

For people who are squeemish, simply embarrassed, or simply need to retain some dignity, there is even Wartrol, which contains safe and naturally occurring ingredients.
