Cryotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for removing warts on the clitoris. However, because this is a highly sensitive area, the doctor must channel a treatment that generates minimal discomfort, so it is not unpleasant.
Today there are several treatments to eliminate genital warts, such as laser removal and electrocauterization . Also, there are topical treatments such as salicylic acid that must be applied by a specialist.
Of course, getting rid of HPV is another way to ensure that warts disappear forever.
What are genital warts?
Genital warts, also known as condylomas, are a lesion on the skin that arises because HPV attacks epithelial cells. This causes the affected area to thicken, and the skin or mucosa area ends up yielding, so a wart is formed.
One of the main symptoms of HPV is the formation of warts on the genitals, which can appear on the external skin. For example, lesions can be seen on the vulva or penis.
On the other hand, lesions can also appear on the internal mucosa of the genitals or in the anogenital area. In this case, there is a risk of developing cancer if there is cellular alteration.
How is HPV infection transmitted?
Genital warts, including warts on the clitoris, are highly contagious. The means of contagion occurs through skin-to-skin interaction or by coming into contact with the affected mucosa.
A very characteristic feature of HPV is that it can be transmitted even if at one point a person is not presenting the warts. Why? Because there is compromised mucosa that still carries the viral load.
Can genital warts produce symptoms?
In most cases, they are lesions that do not cause symptoms, only a lot of visual discomfort. Also, there is a great stigma surrounding HPV, so it is normal to feel emotionally bad about this situation.
However, ideally, if you have noticed that you have genital warts, you should see a doctor. Today, this infection is one of the most common STIs of all, and more than being ashamed, it is a priority to take care of your health.
On the other hand, warts can cause pain, inflammation, or itching, and in those cases (which are not so common), it is of vital importance to see a doctor.
How is the diagnosis of genital warts made?
A gynecologist or urologist is capable of diagnosing genital warts from HPV. Although of course, their appearance can be appreciated with the naked eye because they are very noticeable lesions.
Although specialists usually have a lot of experience identifying warts from HPV, their existence can be verified. For example, acetic acid can be applied to the lesion, and if it turns whitish, it is linked to HPV.
On the other hand, in the case of women, a colposcopy can be performed, which allows seeing if there are internal warts in the genitals.
This is of vital importance because it helps prevent cervical cancer, and in men, it helps to know if there is a risk of developing cancer in areas such as the anus.
How to remove genital warts?
Removing genital warts or warts on the clitoris is possible. But it must be the doctor who gives the appropriate suggestions for this.
Since resorting to home remedies without being sure about their effects, far from being a benefit, can affect.
Also, not all treatments for removing warts on the clitoris are carried out as a clinical procedure. For example, there are drugs like cytotoxics that help eliminate these lesions through direct contact.
Also, some doctors suggest administering drugs like Imiquimod, an immunomodulator that helps eliminate the wart and at the same time favors the immune response.
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.
Can we prevent the appearance of genital warts?
If you have never had genital warts but know that HPV is a highly contagious disease, you surely want to know what possibilities there are for prevention.
In this sense, the main method of prevention is through safe sexual practice. Using a barrier contraceptive method is important to reduce contact with the genitals and thus prevent contagion.
However, there are areas where it is not so easy to isolate and prevent contact. That is why risky sexual practices greatly increase the probability of a possible HPV contagion.
When genital warts disappear, can they come back?
When warts on the genitals disappear, we may be facing two possibilities. On the one hand, this refers to us that the treatment really had the desired effect.
In that case, the virus will remain in the body, perhaps in the mucous membranes or another region, so it is still contagious. On the other hand, it may be that the virus has been inactivated by the effect of the immune defenses.
Unfortunately, in both cases, warts on the genitals can return. So it is important to maintain prevention against HPV.
What happens if I tear off a papilloma wart?
Some people feel the need to tear off the genital warts produced by the HPV virus.
This is not safe! It can have serious consequences, it can even cause bleeding, and this increases the risk of producing an infection.
Also, it is possible that this action increases the extension of the lesions to other parts because they are highly contagious.
So … what does a wart on the clitoris mean?
It means that you were infected with the Human Papilloma Virus, it is often a low-risk strain.
However, in all cases, it is advisable to have a medical evaluation, especially for those people who do not have much knowledge of the subject. Keep in mind that when we are misinformed, we can make bad decisions.
Lastly… what should you do if you have HPV?
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!
