How Can I Get an HPV Test?10.27.10

How Can I Get an HPV Test?

Although the HPV virus is a very common one in the human population, we really have no specific test – such as a blood test – to detect it in the general population. For women who are at risk for cervical cancer, there is a test called the “digene HPV test” that is usually done at the same time as a pap smear. This test can detect the presence on the cervix of the strains of HPV virus that are thought to be most likely to cause cervical cancer. This test is used for women over 30 at risk, and for women under 30 who have already been shown with a pap test to have abnormal cervical cells that may be indicative of a problem.

It is currently believed that there are over 250 strains or types of the HPV virus, and symptoms vary greatly amongst these strains. So unless you have specific symptoms, there is really no way to know whether or not you carry the virus. That is why it is important to educate yourself about it and take care of your health accordingly.

There are, however, tests that screen for some of the symptoms and conditions that the HPV virus causes. For instance, if you have genital warts, you can be screened for HPV origin of the condition; types 6 and 11 of the HPV virus cause about 90% of cases of genital warts.

Women should be routinely screened for changes on the cervix that are related to pre-cancerous conditions. This test is usually referred to as a “pap test” or “pap smear” and your gynecologist does it during your annual checkup when he takes a small swab of the skin cells on the surface of your cervix, and sends them to the lab to be analyzed for any abnormality.

Other types of cancers related to HPV infection are rare, and there is no known test to determine whether an individual is at risk. For example some strains of HPV can cause cancer of the head and neck, cancer of the throat, cancer of the penis, the vulva or the anus. You do not know that you have these cancers until you develop symptoms and they are diagnosed by your physician. But even if one of these cancers is diagnosed, it is difficult to determine medically whether the cancer is the result of a prior infection with a strain of HPV.

So although you cannot be tested to determine whether you have HPV, you can educate yourself about what the HPV virus is and know as much about HPV prevention as possible. If you are an adult who is sexually active, or who has been sexually active in the past, you are statistically more likely to have contracted at least one strain of the HPV virus. If you are a person with a weakened immune system because of a chronic disease of any type, you may be even more susceptible to catching HPV and to developing the symptomatic conditions related to it.

Protecting yourself from the common strains of HPV that cause “common warts” is a matter of simple hygiene. Protecting yourself from the more dangerous and invisible strains of HPV that can lead to cancer, involves practicing safe sex and having yourself screened routinely for the types of cancers that HPV causes.

There is a lot of information out there for women on the importance of routine screening for cervical cancers. But if you are a man, you need to be informed as well. In particular, gay and bisexual men are statistically at an increased risk for HPV related cancers. Some physicians use the Pap Test to screen for anal cancer in gay men: this test can be used to detect abnormal pre-cancerous cells of the anus in the same way that it can detect abnormal cells of the cervix in women. Men who know they are HIV-positive have weakened immune systems that may be particularly vulnerable to developing a life-threatening condition related to HPV.

You Can Rely On Traditional Genital Wart Remover That Has Stood The Test Of Time10.23.10

You Can Rely On Traditional Genital Wart Remover That Has Stood The Test Of Time

If genital warts are bad, trying to get rid of them may be worse unless of course you pick up the right therapy. However, before you decide how to get rid of genital warts you should learn about what genital warts are first and how one is infected by it. That will help you to fight them more confidently. However, know that there are different ways to treat your genital warts. There are patient applied lotions and creams, which you can use in the privacy of your home. Some, on the other hand, need to be handled by the health workers because of size or location. Such doctor-applied methods include surgery and cauterization. You can also take homeopathic medicine such as Wartrol to eliminate your genital warts.

If you want to get rid of your genital warts for good, get rid of the human papillomavirus that caused it in the first place. Just getting rid of the visible warts does not help as long as the root cause remains in the body. The warts keep recurring every few months and cause same amount of discomfort and embarrassment as it has done previously. Although the traditional theories postulates that it is impossible to eradicate the virus and it remains in the body for life, today we know that it is possible to get rid of the virus along with the visible warts as long as we take the right approach.

Therefore, if you have genital warts and know that you have been infected you should, not only undergo proper genital warts cures, but take care not to transmit it further. Simply put, such a person should abstain from sexual activities because unlike HIV, use of condoms does not help much. The HPV is transmitted through skin-to-skin contact and condoms do not cover that much area.

Go and see the doctor if you find some growth inside or outside the vagina, on the opening of the uterus, at the tip or on the shaft of the penis, on the scrotum, in and around the anus and or inside the mouth or throat if you have oral sex. The growth may not disturb you in the beginning. They never do unless irritated. Nevertheless, the warts become bigger and und spread over a larger area if they are left untreated. It is only then that they start giving trouble. Therefore, you should start looking for genital warts cures as soon as you notice the growths.

Treat the warts as soon as they come to your notice. If you feel bad about visiting doctors, you can try the natural therapies that are available on line. In fact, these medications are generally mild and do not cause any side effect. On the contrary, some mainstream genital wart cures can cause irreparable damage if they are not properly administered. At the same time, you must remember that not all mainstream wart removers are harmful. Cryosurgery for instance is safe even for pregnant woman. Electro cauterization takes time to heal, but the recurrence is lowest.

Some natural removers have miraculous impact in treating warts. One of the time-tested and oldest removers is thick, white and milky saps which are oozed from milkweed plants. In practice for centuries this highly effective natural genital wart remover has been accepted wholeheartedly around the glob. This is a safe and effective natural treatment for genital warts. Many other developments have happened in the present scenario. The options for genital wart removal too have grown tremendously with other advancements.

Well, I admit that above mode of treatment is rather impractical these days. Where do you find the milkweed plant, and even if you do, how do you get the sap? Do not worry, nobody expects you to do that. What you can do is to try PhytoMedx Milkweed Cream instead. It is made from the latex of same milkweed plant, but has been packaged for convenient use. Another, important point is that such creams, unlike many other prescribed genital wart remover, can be applied on the external skin of the mouth, anus, penis, labia or vagina without causing any irritation.

Of course, there are many other such genital warts remover made from traditional sources. I would not suggest all of them are equally good, but those that have stood the test of time like milkweed sap has, must be as effective as any prescribe medicines are, if not better. Try them; they will at least do no harm. On the contrary, wrong application of prescribed medicines will cause irreparable, often fatal damage.

Matthew McMillan is a leading expert in the genital wart removal. His works are regularly featured in online health publications on matters relating medications of genital warts. For more information on genital warts cream, visit TreatmentForGenitalWarts.com.
