Intralesional Interferon Injections Kill the Human Papillomavirus to Cure Genital Warts For Good

By Brian on Sunday, January 22nd, 2012 | No Comments

There are ways to remove genital warts. Before we talk about it, let us talk about the virus that causes the warts. Genital warts, medically termed Condylomata acuminata is a highly infectious disease caused by human papillomavirus. It enters the body during sexual intercourse with an infected partner through skin-to-skin contact. However, not all wart-like growth in the genital or perianal area is genital wart. Therefore, it is important to have it diagnosed before undertaking any mode of treatment.

See a dermatologist first. Depending upon the condition of the warts the doctor may prescribe different options for removing genital warts. Let us discuss few of them:

• Patient applied treatment involves applying different creams, gels and lotions in the prescribed dose for a prescribed period at a correct interval on external warts only. Using them too much, too often and for too long may cause irreparable damage.

• Liquid Nitrogen cryosurgery is doctor applied genital wart treatment. Under this process, the warts are killed using liquid nitrogen.

• Killing the warts by using Trichloroacetic acid, Bichloroacetic acid, Podophyllin resin (Podofin), Fluorouracil (Efudex, Fluoroplex) etc is less effective than cryosurgery and is not safe for use in vagina, cervix etc. Besides, there can be very bad side effects including fever, nausea, confusion etc.

• Surgical excision and laser ablation are two more methods of removing genital warts. They have greater risk of scarring. Laser ablation is more expensive than surgical excision, but not necessarily better.

• According to some, Intralesional interferon injections applied locally is the best method of removing genital warts.

There are mainly two types genital wart treatments, patient applied and doctor applied. Following are some basic facts that you should know:

• Let us first make it clear that there is no cure for human papillomavirus, the cause behind the genital warts. It can only be cleared by body’s immune system. As long as the virus remains in the body, the genital warts will keep appearing even after being removed. The virus can however, be kept under control by some kind of immunological response. Regular treatment of warts too can slow down the replication of the virus.

• Almost all treatments have the potentiality to cause depigmentation or scarring. There can be other side effects too.

• Genital warts that have grown on the outer skin and are within easy reach can be treated with patient applied topical medications.

• Warts grown inside the vagina or the rectum need doctor applied genital warts medication

Now, what is interferon? Interferon is a protein produced by the cells in response to challenges posed by viruses, parasites and tumor cells. They are anti viral in nature and can fight tumors. They have another important function too. As an infected cell dies from the cytolitic virus, thousands of viruses will infect the nearby cells. However, if the immune system of the body is strong enough, the infected cell releases interferon, which warns the other cells of the presence of the virus. The cell that has been pre-warned now produces enzymes that starts a complex process, which kills the HPV in the end.

The Interferon injection is not given to pregnant women. If you are pregnant then you need to tell the doctor immediately. The Interferon injection is not administered to pregnant women because this medication may harm the growing fetus. Like the other genital warts medication, Interferon also has some side effects. Some of the side effects are muscle aches, chills and fever, pain near the injection site, hives, temporary decrease in the white blood cells, and a decrease in the blood platelets.

Although the Intralesional interferon is well tolerated by most of the patients, it has some side effects. Some common adverse effects are temporary decrease in the white blood cells and blood platelets, flue like symptoms, increased body temperature, fatigue, headache, muscle aches, convulsion dizziness etc. Hardness on the spot of injection is also very common.

Another minus point of Intralesional interferon is that though it is quite effective it is not that consistent, which means that reappearance of warts cannot be totally ruled out, in spite of it being one of the costliest modes of treatment. That is why many patient look towards alternate medicines to cure genital warts. Some of them promise to eradicate Condylomata acuminata from their roots and vouch that the warts once removed will not reappear.

Talk to your doctor frankly. You must learn about the different modes of treatment and the advantages and disadvantages of each. Choose one that you can afford. Podofilox is the first line of treatment because of its low cost, while Intralesional interferon is quite expensive. While skin erosion and pain are more commonly reported in the former, the side effects of the later are more easily tolerated.

If you know of some friends who have undergone the particular genital warts treatment then they can guide you with the treatment process, and the other details. Most genital warts fall off on their own, but there few stubborn warts that remain for longer time durations. If you can bear the discomfort, most doctors will advise some topical treatments and if you cannot bear the discomfort, then the doctors will directly recommend a surgery.

Transmission Of Genital Warts

By Brian on Friday, January 6th, 2012 | No Comments

Genital warts are caused by a highly contagious virus known as HPV. These warts are spread through intimate skin-to-skin contact with an infected partner. Out of about 200 types of HPV identified to date, more than 30 have the ability to infect the genital tract. However, HPV types 6 and 11 are responsible for approximately 90% of all genital warts.

Genital warts can vary in appearance: they can be very small, occur in clusters, or 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.

When learning about genital warts, one should know that they can be transmitted by both females and males. Because of the nature of women’s body, genital warts are far more prevalent in females. Men however, can end up becoming carriers of the warts, which are derived from HPV. If you are a woman who has been involved in sexual relations with a partner who has HPV, then you should know that your infection might not stop with you. Women who have become pregnant have passed these warts off to their children during childbirth. Once this happens, the newborn can get infected in such areas where the virus can thrive, including their mouth and throat.

In some cases, it has been seen that genital warts have been spread during unclean practices. Some reports have shown that medical equipment that has not been properly cleaned and/or sanitized can lead to the transmission of the disease. While the most common transmission of the virus is through sexual contact with an infected person.

Even if an individual is not showing signs of having an outbreak of the genital warts, it does not mean that they cannot pass it on. HPV can most definitely be passed on even if the warts are not present. This is one of the main reasons why individuals need to be completely careful when they are taking part in sexual activity. All in all, safe practices will be the only thing that can save you from transmitting the HPV. Genital warts, although they can be treated to lessen outbreaks, never go away. Knowing this, it is important for all individuals to take the steps necessary in order to protect themselves from HPV viruse.

Genital warts removal can be a sensitive subject to approach. However, it is something that should be discussed with your doctor if it is an area of great concern for you. Remember that genital warts cannot be treated like common warts. Many of the home kits for wart removal contain chemicals that are too harsh for the genital area, so be sure to discuss your options with your doctor. The most important thing is that if you have genital warts, you need to go to the doctor regularly, so that you can keep an eye on them and make sure that you are healthy, especially if you are a woman because genital warts can spread inside the vagina, on and around the cervix, and can even cause cancer.

Today, there are a variety of treatments for this sexually transmitted disease, including a vaccination that can help prevent them from spreading. Most doctors decide to burn (cauterize) or freeze genital warts as a first option. Unfortunately, success achieved with this method is often temporary and the warts soon reappear. More difficult-to-treat genital warts may have to be surgically excised or burned off. After surgical intervention or chemical acids are used, one can expect a scar in that area.

CURED’s website discusses an alternative antiviral treatment now available which represents a very promising solution to the growing epidemic of genital warts. HPVCurative is a new highly effective and potent genital warts treatment. It is valued for its curative role in the treatment of genital warts and has provided total clearance of the infection time after time.

Users of HPVCurative experience rapid elimination of genital warts, without scarring or recurrence. The treatment is painless and provides superb results. It eliminates genital warts and restores skin tissue to the state it was in prior to the onset of the infection. Since the treatment can effectively remove genital warts and wart-like substances on the genitals, acid or surgical procedures may soon become a thing of the past.

Of course, prevention is the best method. So if you do not have genital warts yet, make sure that you always use protection during sexual activities and especially when you are having sexual intercourse with a new partner. Also make sure that you get yourself tested frequently, even if you have not been having intercourse, because some STDs, including HPV, can linger and not show up until months or even years after you have contracted them. If you have genital warts you need to get them cleared as soon as possible. Use HPVCurative for fast treatment, go to http://www.bcured.net for details.

Facts About Warts

By Brian on Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011 | No Comments

The human papilloma virus (HPV) is the cause of both genital and non-genital warts. This is a very common family of viruses. There are actually more than 100 different strains of HPV. Of these, approximately 30 exist in the genital area and can cause genital warts (condyloma acuminata). These 30 strains can be further broken down to “high” and “low” risk strains.

High risk strains may cause changes in a Pap smear which may rarely progress to cancer. There are approximately 13 high-risk strains of HPV, of which two (16 & 18) are believed to cause about 70% of all cervical cancer. Low risk strains sometimes cause changes in a Pap smear, but do not progress to cancer. Of the low-risk strains, two (6 &11) are most likely to cause genital warts.

HPV is spread by close genital contact, and is thus nearly always sexually transmitted. While there have been rare reports of infection from tanning beds, it is extremely unlikely that this virus would be transmitted through shared clothing, bed sheets, etc.

The time from infection until you have any signs (e.g. a wart or abnormal Pap smear) is both long and variable. It may be anywhere from a few weeks to more than 1 year. In addition, any changes that do occur may not be noticed for additional months or years. Thus, it is often extremely difficult or impossible to figure out who infected whom.

Warts may not be present but when they are they tend to grow in the genital area in both men and women. In addition, they may be seen in or around the urethra, anus and sometimes the mouth, lips, tongue and throat. The warts may vary in appearance.

HPV infection is extremely common. It is estimated that at any given time 20-40 million Americans are infected. Over a typical college career approximately 60% of sexually active women will become infected. The HPV virus is so common that it can almost be considered normal to have it. While it is assumed that a similar number of men are also infected, there are no good statistics as it is harder to test for HPV in men than women.

Cancer of the cervix is almost always caused by HPV infection (high risk strains). However, early changes on the cervix which could lead to cancer are nearly always discovered on Pap tests. Since HPV is transmitted by close genital contact, condoms provide some, but imperfect, protection against infection.

There is no test that can guarantee that anyone (particularly men) are not infected with HPV. HPV infection is particularly serious in those with an immune disorder (e.g. HIV/AIDS) HPV can be contracted by one person, cause absolutely no symptoms, and, months or years later, be transmitted to a new partner.

Women can be diagnosed either by a Pap test which suggests HPV and is then confirmed by a second test or by the presence of visible warts. Men can only be diagnosed if warts can be seen. A vinegar solution is sometimes applied to the skin to help visualize flat warts.

The large majority of people cure themselves (usually without ever knowing that they had been infected). Average length of time from infection to cure is about 8 months. Most times, if low risk HPV is detected in a woman without symptoms, we would recommend only “watchful waiting” as treatment.

Most people “cure” themselves — usually without ever knowing that they were infected. This would be the usual treatment for those women found to have HPV on routine testing or with mildly abnormal Pap smears.

There are several treatment options for treating HPV/warts. These range from prescription creams (effective but expensive), to burning the warts with acid or by laser, freezing them with liquid nitrogen, or surgical removal. Treatment by any of theses means often, but not always, leads to a cure. Some women will need to go for a test called colposcopy to take a better look at the cervix. During this test, treatment to the cervix is often done.

Warts occurring on the body, face, feet, hands or genitals can be successfully eliminated with AntiWarts-Rx. This product is made from strictly certified organic antiviral plant material and concentrated with naturally occurring monoterpene ketones which have tremendous antiviral effects against the wart virus, HPV, as demonstrated in published scientific studies.

Our anti-warts treatments are characterized by very strong and real pharmacological activities which unequivocally qualifies them as “ethical drugs”. The antiviral properties of these treatments are undisputed and basic common sense must be considered when using any treatment, natural or synthetic. It is imperative that there is trust in the manufacturers who are the purveyors for quality.

Very recent advances in the scientific understanding of medicinal plants suggest a much broader use of natural medicine in the process of eradicating warts than science thought possible just ten years ago. To learn more, please go to http://www.naturespharma.org.

HPV And Warts

By Brian on Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011 | No Comments

Genital warts are venereal warts on the genitals which are associated with the Human Papilloma Virus, also referred to as the HPV virus. HPV is possibly the most commonly transmitted sexual disease and special care must be taken. One of the methods to make sure that you stay healthy is knowing about diseases such as this and learning how you can protect yourself from them. Millions of people throughout the United States are infected by HPV. Since those numbers are so staggering, it is quite simple to realize the urgency of educating anyone who is sexually active about this virus and how it may be prevented.

There are many strains of HPV; almost two hundreds types are actually circulating worldwide. That is why it is so important that you use precautions and always practice safe sex with any partner that you may have. Additionally, women should have a regular screening during their annual pap smear to make sure that they are not carrying the virus.

For prevention, there is now a vaccine that has been shown to protect against HPV. If this is a concern of yours, then speak to your doctor about an HPV test and the HPV vaccination. While the vaccine will not cure a person who is already infected, it can help protect those who have not contracted it.

Most pharmacology efforts now focus on developing a vaccine to inoculate the population in order to stop the HPV virus from infecting the system. This is ideal for the pharmaceutical companies as it would of course reap a monetary windfall of epic proportions for the drug companies, but not useful at all for those already affected with warts. Importantly, China has now banned such vaccinations as they have found injecting a pathogen into your system does just that, it stays in your system, remaining latent in the joints, only to reappear in later years causing horrendous arthritis and or auto immune disorders.

If you have genital warts that are bothering you and medications do not limit the outbreaks, then you can talk to your doctor about having them removed. That is done by freezing the warts, which kills the cells. After the freezing, or cryosurgery, the warts will then die and fall off. Other treatments for warts may include burning them off with a laser, acid treatments or even using a topical cream.

Unfortunately, there are few successful medical options available. Surgically removing warts is the most common medical procedure. However, the patient is subject to a painful surgical intervention which results in skin damage/scarring along with the probability the warts will return.

Skin is comprised of the epidermis (outer layers), and the dermis which is referred to as the true skin (inner layers). 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.

As the antiviral properties of AntiWarts-Rx have the demonstrated ability to penetrate all layers of the skin and enter the blood stream via topical application, they have received considerable attention from the National Academy of Sciences and medical professionals on a global scale.

NaturesPharma’s treatments are truly unique. As they are certified organic they are safer than anything out there and more potent. In comparison with other warts treatments, the mode of action of AntiWarts-Rx as an anti-warts agent is particularly interesting not only in consideration of its ability to inactivate the extra cellular virus at concentration much lower than those in other treatments, but also for its ability to inhibit the cell-to-cell virus diffusion in already infected cells, which makes this product unique and far superior to all others. NaturesPharma’s anti-warts treatments have a well earned reputation as being industry leaders. If you have genital warts you can get rid of them quickly and easily with AntiWarts-Rx, go to http://www.naturespharma.org for more details.
