Dealing With a Genital Wart
Any time you discover a genital wart is horrible, but it's especially bad if you don't catch it until you're about to be intimate with your significant other.
Imagine the horror of preparing to make love only for your lover to see the wart first.
It can be incredibly embarrassing, and it's one of the main reasons you want to always check to make certain you don't have one, especially if you have had genital warts before.
Why is that important? Because a genital wart is caused by the human papillomavirus, and that never leaves your body.
There are many different strains of the virus, but it's mainly types 6 and 11 that cause the warts.
Once you have these types, you'll have the warts for life.
While the creams and other types of medication may help eliminate outbreaks, you may have a genital wart or two pop up at any time.
Some people actually never see a one of these warts on their bodies.
Why is that? Well, the virus doesn't always result in them.
However, that doesn't mean you still can't infect people.
Many get this type of wart from a partner who had no idea they had the human papillomavirus.
Even if you never see one, it's important to know that you can still infect others.
Having safe sex is the only way to prevent spreading genital warts to others.
Again, the virus stays in your body, so even if you don't have any of the warts at the moment, it's still possible to infect others.
While these warts, as the name suggests, usually appear around the genitalia, it's also possible to have them in or on your mouth and throat.
This may happen if you have oral sex with someone who is infected.
It's possible to pass on the virus orally in this case.
In some places, the vaccine called Gardasil has been approved for use in preventing four types of the human papillomavirus.
They are types 6, 11, 16, and 18.
However, there are two things to note here.
The first is that you must be vaccinated before you contract the virus, and second, the vaccine is mostly approved for women, although in the UK and some other areas, men can have the vaccine as well.
