Genital Warts On The Penis
Genital Warts On The Penis are a very common sexually transmitted disease At least here in the United States and in many other parts of the world.
Genital warts on the penis are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) and they are very contagious and quite easily spread. There are over one hundred types of HPV of which there thirty strains are transmitted primarily through intimate and unprotected sexual contact whether through vaginal, oral or anal sex and when the virus is transmitted it often results in warts of the genitalia.
An infected person may have no genital warts symptoms of infection but still transmit the wart virus.
HPV infections are very common in teens and young adults (the highest rates of warts of the genitalia are recorded in men between the ages of 20 and 24) and the more sexual partners someone has, the more likely they are to contract penis warts, often referred to as male genital warts.
Unfortunately, there are often no signs or symptoms of genital warts and so someone can be infected and pass on the disease without being aware that they have done so. The virus does not grow so easily on the penis, but some people do get visible genital warts on the penis.
These warts appear as bumps or growths and can be flat or have a rough cauliflower like texture. They can be flesh colored, pink or grey white in color. They can be single or multi-units and they can be small or large.In other words, they vary from person to person.
Sometimes genital warts may go away without treatment while others, if left untreated, may grow bigger and multiply and even spread to other parts of the penis. However they are benign (that means non-cancerous).
Since Genital Warts On The Penis are not always easy to see with the naked eye, a person suffering from them will not always even know that they are there. If they appear, they usually do so approximately two to three months after contracting the virus and they will be on the shaft or head of the penis.
Sometimes Genital Warts On The Penis are not even painful or itchy which is another reason why many of those men infected are not aware of their presence.Yet…other times there will be pain, itching and a burning sensation. Yipes!
What About Treatment For Genital Warts On The Penis
It is important to treat any genital warts before they get out of hand as they can multiply. Your doctor or clinic will be able to give you a correct diagnosis as well as advise you on the different methods of treatment such as:
* Topical agents…some of which have been used to treat genital warts since the 1940s. They contain caustic chemicals which gradually eat away at the wart. If not applied carefully, they can irritate your normal skin.
* Surgical therapy…different methods are used where the penis warts are cut, burned, lasered or frozen away and depending how extensive your genital warts are, will require some sort of anesthesia, and may well be very painful.
* Immunotherapy…there are medications which can be injected directly into your penis warts to stimulate your body’s immune system to kill the warts. There are side effects including shaking chills, fever and depression. The procedure can take up to 8 weeks.
* Natural Healing Products…these are made from essential oils and can be used at home to remove genital warts on the penis with no side effects or scarring.
Prevention of Genital Warts On The Penis
As far as sex is concerned, it is best to wait until the penis warts have been treated and cleared up.
Before you have sex, talk openly to your partner about how to protect yourselves. A male latex condom which covers the whole penis can provide protection from penis warts if used correctly every time you have sex.
Unfortunately, condoms are not 100% safe and the only sure way to prevent catching or passing on any of the sexually transmitted diseases is by not having sex at all…Abstinence.
