HPV is the cause of cancer of the cervix in women and the cause of genital warts in both women and men. Men with an HPV infection are carriers who can spread the infection to both current and future partners. Women with HPV should not be treated in isolation, the partner must be evaluated and potentially treated in order to minimize the chance of recurrences. Treatment of the other partner is also necessary in order to minimize the chance of transmission to future partners.

There are dozens of strains of HPV which may occur in the genital area. High risk strains 16 and 18 are the cause of 70% of all cases of cancer of the cervix. Low risk strains 6 and 11 are the cause of 90% of all cases of genital warts. High risk strains in women are frequently associated with HPV infections that persist and do not resolve over time. The low risk strains do not have any potential to progress to cancer of the cervix but can cause problematic and highly contagious genital warts.

It is usually found around the genital and anal region of the body, but can spread to the mouth and face.

Genital warts in women are typically found in or around the vagina, on the thighs, or around the anus and could be small and pink or whiter and risen and in certain cases, they are grouped and from clusters. Certain types of the human papillomavirus infect the anogenital tract and cause cervical cancer; however, they are not the strains that cause genital warts.

In some cases, he might also take a small sample (biopsy) from a wart and send it to a laboratory for testing. Continue reading ‘Overview Of Genital Warts In Women’ »

It is now common knowledge that genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease and the culprit is the Herpes Simplex Virus type 2. The major cause of propagation of this virus is intimate sexual contact. Sex being an instinctive behavior of every adult, it becomes very difficult to find a way to prevent this virus from propagating and save the unsuspecting victims from a possible infection. Perhaps, that is the reason, why so many people in America today fall victim to this virus and the increasing number of genital herpes in women.

On an average, one out of every eight men has genital herpes, whereas, in case of women, it is one out of every four. According to the Centers for Disease Control, genital herpes caused by the HSV-II virus is more prevalent in women because they catch it easily than their spouses. The female genital organ is one which is internally folded into a receiving tube. To keep it in good order it is internally lined with mucosal cells and it is the nature of these cells to always secrete mucous into the folds. Mucous being rich in water and other organic substances is a fertile medium for micro organisms to thrive and breed. This is one of the major reasons why women are so prone to genital herpes infections and is the first disadvantage for women. Continue reading ‘Genital Herpes In Women And Finding A Cure For It’ »
