The human papillomavirus is perhaps one of the conditions to which the scientific community has given a greater degree of attention compared to other sexually transmitted diseases due to its easy transmission.
In this article, we are going to tell you how to combat its symptoms (warts) and the virus itself, using remedies from both traditional and natural medicine.

Medicines for genital warts
We have currently seen how science continues to develop products for the removal of warts caused by HPV.
In this regard, creams are one of the initial treatment routes chosen by specialists when treating HPV at home.
Generally, creams are indicated by the doctor in situations where HPV has not manifested itself so severely in the patient.
Examples of non-severe forms are those scenarios in which the patient does not present a large cluster of warts or at least these do not have a very resistant composition.
Among the creams widely used for the treatment of warts caused by HPV, we have Imiquimod, Podophyllin, and other alternatives such as trichloroacetic acid-based creams.
It is important to note that these creams can change their name depending on the pharmaceutical company that distributes them.
Moreover, not all are easily accessible, as some will require a prescription from the specialist doctor.
If the creams do not provide the expected results after the time indicated by the doctor, then it will be necessary to move towards other somewhat more intrusive methods as we will mention in the next section.
Surgical procedures to remove warts
Surgical procedures are the next and last step with respect to the specialist’s options when it comes to effectively removing warts caused by HPV.
Among some of the surgical procedures most frequently implemented in the health sector, we have the following:
1. Cryotherapy
This is one of the procedures most used today, which is carried out using liquid nitrogen.
This is poured in very small amounts onto the warts several times until they begin to fall off.
2. Electrocauterization
This method is used less often, although with good results in the elimination of warts, as it is effectively used to burn them based on small sessions of electric current.
3. Laser surgery
Laser surgery is also widely used in the removal of these warts and as its name suggests, the specialist will use a special device that emits laser in order to improve the aesthetic appearance of the affected area.
4. Surgery with a scalpel
Despite being one of the oldest methods, some specialists continue to resort to it in certain cases of warts caused by HPV.
In this procedure, the specialist carefully removes the warts from the affected area in a somewhat more rudimentary way using a scalpel.
These were some tips to help you know how to deal with HPV. However, there is much more you need to do if you really want to get rid of HPV and warts forever.
What you need to do is GET RID OF THE ROOT of the problem.
For that reason, I recommend you to look into Dr. Kirkland's story and how he was able to cure HPV and get rid of warts for good.
Home remedies for warts
While science has made significant advances in treating the symptoms caused by HPV…
… similarly, home methods have grown in popularity in natural medicine to combat this sexually transmitted disease.
In the case of warts, whether genital, anal or anywhere else on the body, home medicine has proven to be a relief to effectively eliminate this symptom without requiring such exhaustive intervention by the health professional.
Among some of the most popular home remedies for warts are:
- those made based on lemon (contains vitamin C),
- baking soda,
- liver oil (contains vitamin A),
- garlic with its antiviral and antibacterial properties,
- aloe vera,
- and aspirin, which due to its salicylic acid content can eliminate warts quickly.
Eating foods high in vitamins, quitting habits such as tobacco and alcohol use, and increasing physical activity in your life, are perfect complements to speed up the elimination of warts caused by HPV.
Diet to strengthen the immune system and eliminate HPV
As we have mentioned in past content, the consumption of foods that boost defenses is a fundamental step for curing HPV.
And this is so because the immune system is responsible for preventing and even combating this virus. But, for this, it is necessary to have sufficiently high defenses.
The best options we recommend for boosting defenses are fruits such as:
- strawberries,
- kiwi,
- orange,
- lemon,
- grapes,
- strawberries,
- guava,
- and mango.
However, if you want more varied options, you can also choose other products, such as:
- almond milk,
- eggs,
- seafood,
- carrots,
- nuts,
- and even yogurt, which serves as a boost thanks to its healthy bacteria that help in this important task.
Within this context, there are also other alternatives for those who lead a hectic life. We refer to juices, such as those of:
- carrot,
- green apple,
- celery,
- ginger,
- grapefruit,
- and beetroot.
These were some tips to help you know how to deal with HPV. However, there is much more you need to do if you really want to get rid of HPV and warts forever.
What you need to do is GET RID OF THE ROOT of the problem.
For that reason, I recommend you to look into Dr. Kirkland's story and how he was able to cure HPV and get rid of warts for good.
I wish you great success in your recovery!
