If precancerous or cancerous cells are discovered in other areas of the body, such as on the penis, the same options for removal can be used.
HPV is a common infection that usually goes away on its own. Certain strains of HPV can develop into something much more serious, such as cervical cancer.

If you or your partner is diagnosed with HPV, you may have some questions. What is it? How do I talk to my partner about it? To date the length of protection of Gardasil is not known beyond a 5-year period. Additionally, there are 30 high risk strains for HPV and this vaccine only addresses 2. The CDC even warns that females will still need to receive pap smears and be tested for HPV because the timing and dosage could affect its effectiveness.
This means that the vaccine may not be useful after all. The possibility seems like a certainty. Vaccinations have dropped considerably in infants and children because many parents are concerned about autism. Could this be another way for drug companies to compensate for that loss? Are they targeting our young girls who indeed are at risk by being sexually permissive? Educating young women about sexually transmitted disease is certainly wise but is vaccine the only answer?
At Body Ecology we know we have alternatives and solutions to offer all women — better and safer solutions. I feel it is very important for all BEDers to understand this current threat to our children and share the information in this newsletter with anyone you know who will benefit. If a woman does chose to vaccinate her daughter, son or herself, then before getting any vaccination, including Gardasil, she should tell her doctor if he or she is not well — especially if there are signs of a fever or an infection.
Also any other sign of a weakened immune system or any bleeding disorders should be discussed. If a woman is pregnant or is planning to become pregnant, she should not be vaccinated. Pregnancy weakens the immune system, putting a woman and her baby at risk. Pregnancy is not always planned and could occur around the time of vaccination. And who does not have a weakened immune system today?
Are we healthy enough to be vaccinated? Over years ago Edward Jenner demonstrated to the world that a vaccine containing the cowpox virus could protect children from the dreaded smallpox disease. The cowpox virus would have triggered a stronger antibody response to protect them because their immune systems were stronger. Until we begin to eat fermented foods and turn back to real foods grown in healthy soils rich in microflora, and minerals we may not be good candidates for vaccinations.
At Body Ecology we are offering a healthier way of life that will also help children of all ages and adults improve their immune systems and also manage levels of stress more effectively.
With elevated stress levels, poor diets and hormonal imbalances can Governor Perry be certain that the young women in Texas are healthy enough to be vaccinated? By going through an executive order, the Texas Legislature has little recourse for repealing the mandatory vaccine.
TCA solution has a low viscosity, comparable with that of water, and can spread rapidly and damage adjacent tissues if applied excessively. A small amount should be applied only to the warts and allowed to dry i.
If pain is intense or an excess amount of acid is applied, the area can be covered with sodium bicarbonate i. Fewer data are available regarding the efficacy of alternative regimens for treating anogenital warts, which include podophyllin resin, intralesional interferon, photodynamic therapy, and topical cidofovir. Shared clinical decision-making between the patient and provider regarding benefits and risks of these regimens should be provided.
In addition, alternative regimens might be associated with more side effects. Podophyllin resin is no longer a recommended regimen because of the number of safer regimens available, and severe systemic toxicity has been reported when podophyllin resin was applied to large areas of friable tissue and was not washed off within 4 hours — Podophyllin should be applied to each wart and then allowed to air dry before the treated area comes into contact with clothing.
Overapplication or failure to air dry can result in local irritation caused by spread of the compound to adjacent areas and possible systemic toxicity.
The treatment can be repeated weekly, if necessary. Podophyllin resin preparations differ in the concentration of active components and contaminants. Shelf life and stability of podophyllin preparations are unknown. The safety of podophyllin during pregnancy has not been established. Cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen. The use of a cryoprobe in the vagina is not recommended because of the risk for vaginal perforation and fistula formation.
Management of cervical warts should include consultation with a specialist. For women who have exophytic cervical warts, a biopsy evaluation to exclude HSIL should be performed before treatment is initiated. Management of intra-anal warts should include consultation with a colorectal specialist.
Anogenital warts typically respond within 3 months of therapy. Factors that might affect response to therapy include immunosuppression and treatment compliance. Warts located on moist surfaces or in intertriginous areas respond best to topical treatment. A new treatment modality should be selected when no substantial improvement is observed after a complete course of treatment or in the event of severe side effects; treatment response and therapy-associated side effects should be evaluated throughout the therapy course.
Complications occur rarely when treatment is administered correctly. Persistent hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation can occur with ablative modalities e. Depressed or hypertrophic scars are uncommon but can occur, especially if patients have insufficient time to heal between treatments. Rarely, treatment can result in chronic pain syndromes e. Persons should inform current partners about having genital warts because the types of HPV that cause warts can be passed on to partners.
Partners should be counseled that they might already have HPV despite no visible signs of warts; therefore, HPV testing of sex partners of persons with genital warts is not recommended. Partners might benefit from a physical examination to detect genital warts and tests for other STIs.
No recommendations can be made regarding informing future sex partners about a diagnosis of genital warts because the duration of viral persistence after warts have resolved is unknown. Podofilox, podophyllin, and sinecatechins should not be used during pregnancy. Imiquimod appears to pose low risk but should be avoided until more data are available.
Anogenital warts can proliferate and become friable during pregnancy. Although removal of warts during pregnancy can be considered, resolution might be incomplete or poor until pregnancy is complete. Rarely, HPV types 6 and 11 can cause respiratory papillomatosis among infants and children, although the route of transmission i. Whether cesarean delivery prevents respiratory papillomatosis among infants and children also is unclear ; therefore, cesarean delivery should not be performed solely to prevent transmission of HPV infection to the newborn.
Cesarean delivery is indicated for women with anogenital warts if the pelvic outlet is obstructed or if vaginal delivery would result in excessive bleeding. Pregnant women with anogenital warts should be counseled about the low risk for warts on the larynx of their infants or children recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. American Academy of Dermatology.
