Female Genital Warts
Female genital warts are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV) this virus is one of the most common causes of sexually transmitted diseases (STD)’s in the world. There are 20 million cases STD’s in the United States at this time, with one million newly reported cases per year, another one million that are unaware that they are infected with the virus. Fifty percent of the males and females infected with hpv are unaware of the infection, because they have never had an outbreak of male or female genital warts nor any symptoms.Some sexually transmitted HPV’s are linked to genital, and anal cancers in both women, and men. Certain types of hpv can cause changes in the cells of the cervix, which will eventually lead to cervical cancer. Female genital warts are considered to be the most common risk factor for cervical cancer in women; almost all cases of this type of cancer are caused by HPV. The types of human papilloma virus that cause visible female genital warts, are not the same as those that cause cell changes of the cervix. When a woman has regular Pap smears the chance of early detection and treatment of pre-cancerous cell changes, can prevent cervical cancer.
Pap smears are used for screening women for female genital warts and cell changes of the cervix that could lead to cervical cancer. When female genital warts are found while having a gynecological exam the health care provider will usually suggest a Pap smear. The cells taken from the cervix at this time will be put onto a slide and checked under a microscope for abnormalities. Abnormal results do not always indicate pre-cancerous changes. When a test is abnormal another Pap smear may need to be scheduled as well as additional tests. Pre-cancerous cells caught at an early stage can be treated with great success.
Female genital warts during pregnancy will be monitored until the baby is delivered. This is a very sensitive time for female genital warts patients, and their babies, some extra precautions will be sit into place to insure their safety throughout the pregnancy. The hormonal changes during pregnancy causes the female genital warts to grow at a more rapped pace, thus posing a danger to both mother, and baby. With the female genital warts growing at this pace there is a danger that they might rupture and cause bleeding. Health care providers usually make an extra effort to monitor the female genital warts closely if they seem to be enlarging they will generally surgically remove them. In some cases the baby may need to be delivered by cesarean to avoid becoming infected with HPV. Human papilloma virus in rare cases can infect a newborn infant causing warts on the baby’s genitals, anus, and in the throat. Baby’s born to female genital warts patients can have breathing problems, as well as developmental problems. It is imperative for women to see a health care provider immediately, if they think there is a possibility they may have female genital warts.
Female genital warts patients can help in the battle against HPV by changing their daily diet and adding fiber such as whole wheat breads, muffins, cereal, fresh vegetables, and fruits. Adding fiber to the diet will benefit female genital warts patients with softer stools, causing less strain, and cleansing the body. Straining with bowel movements will cause the female genital warts to become irritated and bleed. Women with female genital warts can also aid in keeping outbreaks to a minimum, by limiting caffeine, soft drinks, sweets, and alcohol in their diets.
Female genital warts patients should add, vitamins A, C, E, to their daily diet, for aid in building a stronger immune system. Anyone that smokes while infected with human papilloma virus HPV will be prone to more frequent, and severe, outbreaks.
Exercise will improve your health and aid in weight loss as well, just going for a long walk in the fresh air each day will work. If a woman can maintain a healthy weight and build a stronger immune system she is on her way to controlling the female genital warts. Currently there are no medications, or treatments that can eradicate, or cure, the human papilloma virus.
For many women there are no obvious signs, nor symptoms, to make them believe that they are infected with HPV. When warts are present a health care provider can diagnose HPV infection by the characteristic appearance, and their developmental history. Health care providers will use a colposcope, which is like a telescope to look for female genital warts on the cervix or in the vagina. Currently there are no blood tests that can reliably diagnosis the human papilloma virus. The health care provider can supply women with educational material that is focused on female genital warts.
