The Future of Genital Warts treatment

The genital warts or venereal warts caused by the Human papillomavirus may disappear without treatment.

However, sometimes they eventually develop into fleshy and raised growths on the infected area that could further lead to cancer.

There is no clinically approved way to predict whether the genital warts or venereal warts caused by the Human papillomavirus will grow or disappear completely.

Diagnosis largely depends on the size and location of the genital warts or venereal warts caused by the Human papillomavirus and a number of other factors.

The unpredictable nature of the warts is what makes a doctor offer one of several ways to treat the condition.

The future of genital warts or venereal warts caused by the Human papillomavirus lies in understanding the treatment options we have, which include:

- Imiquimod or Aldara: This is a topical immune response cream. The cream is applied on the genital warts or venereal warts caused by the Human papillomavirus for effective treatment of the affected area.

- 20% Podophyllin anti-mitotic solution: This solution is applied on the genital warts or venereal warts caused by the Human papillomavirus and the surrounding affected area and later washed off.

- 0.5% Podofilox solution: The solution is applied to the affected genital warts or venereal warts caused by the Human papillomavirus, but not washed off. It is allowed to from a residue on the surface and get completely absorbed. The genital warts or venereal warts caused by the Human papillomavirus can be treated with Podophyllin and Podofilox, but these solutions should not be used during pregnancy. The solutions are absorbed by the skin and likely to case birth defects.

- 5% 5-FU cream, TCA, Pulsed dye laser therapy, cryosurgery and electric or laser treatments.

Small genital warts or venereal warts caused by the Human papillomavirus can be removed by freezing or cryosurgery. They can also be treated with burning or laser treatment.

Surgery is recommended only in the case of large warts that do not respond to other treatments. The future of genital warts or venereal warts caused by the Human papillomavirus lies in understanding the treatments and the timely prevention of the condition. Some doctors inject an antiviral drug directly into the genital warts.

This drug is expensive and also does not in any way reduce the risk factor of the genital warts or venereal warts caused by the Human papillomavirus returning.

The suggested treatments remove the warts, but not the HPV virus and hence, the warts recur after treatment. The virus is believed to remain in the body for a lifetime.

The latest research uses sensitive DNA techniques to egg on the immunological response with the help of which the virus can either be cleared or suppressed.
