Genital wart is the most common sexually transmitted disease. Each year one million new cases of genital warts are diagnosed, two thirds of which are in women. The estimated prevalence rate in the US population is fifteen percent. HPV infects keratinocytes. Such infection can manifest clinically as genital warts. These warts are spread through intimate skin-to-skin contact with an infected partner, and often require an immediate HPV cure. Out of about two hundreds types of HPV identified to date, more than thirty have the ability to infect the genital tract.

HPV types six and eleven are responsible for approximately ninety percent of all genital warts, and thus are the primary targets for HPV cures. Genital warts can vary in appearance. They can be very small, can occur in clusters and can develop into large masses in the genital area. They seem to be as prevalent in women as men. They occur either vaginally, on the cervix, or around the anus in females. In men, they usually occur on the tip or shaft of the penis, on the scrotum or around the anus. Genital warts cures must be able to eliminate both the visible symptoms and the causative virus to be truly effective.

Treatment options for genital warts are numerous. Topical genital warts treatments include podophyllin resin, imiquimod, trichloroacetic acid, and podophyllotoxin. Surgical or destructive therapies include carbon dioxide laser, surgical excision, loop excision, cryotherapy, and electrodessication. Interferon can be injected locally or administered systemically to treat genital warts. Evidence of efficacy in the treatment of genital warts is drawn from randomized blind-controlled trials, prospective studies, and retrospective cohort studies.

Evidence of efficacy appears to be good, but more head-to-head studies and comparisons of combination therapies versus monotherapy need to be done. There is little certainty that any approach is more effective than another, however costs differ. It would seem that the first line destructive treatment is cryotherapy, but surgery and electrodesiccation are more effective. The first line topical treatments appear to be podophyllotoxin and imiquimod. Interferon is too expensive and trichloroacetic acid is too inconsistent to be recommended as primary treatment.

Most doctors use cauterization or freezing as a first option to cure genital warts. Unfortunately, success achieved with this method is often temporary and the warts soon reappear. For genital warts, cures may involve having to surgically excise or burn them off. After surgical intervention or chemical acids are used, one can expect a scar in that area. As the virus is microscopic and particles under the skin are not visible, doctors cannot possibly be certain if they have effected complete HPV cures by removing all viral microparticles.

Surgical intervention as a HPV cure attempts not only to cut out the virus but also to stimulate tissue inflammation. The theory is that the body will then develop an antibody response to prevent viral recurrence. However, this method to cure genital warts often fails as doctors are unable to remove the virus in its entirety, since it commonly lodges itself deep in the dermal layers of the skin. 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.

Treatment of choice depends on the number, size, and location of lesions. It is unclear if combinations of therapies are more effective than monotherapy. Side effect profile, cost, effectiveness and convenience define the choice of therapy. An alternative antiviral treatment is now available which represents a very promising solution to the growing epidemic of genital warts. Plant medicine is a new, highly effective and potent way to cure 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.

Plant medicine contains certified organic medicinal plant extracts and antiviral essential oils. Users of plant medicine experience rapid elimination of genital warts without scarring or recurrence. The treatment is painless and provides superb results when compare to other 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 cures may soon become a thing of the past.
