Genital Warts In Men Is More Common Than You Might Think
Author : Steven Magill
There's no doubt about it. Genital warts in men is a very common condition, but for those that suffer from it, that doesn't supply much comfort. It's embarrassing and most men simply do not want to speak to anyone about it. However, there is some good news concerning the treatment of genital warts in men.
How Many People Suffer from This Condition?
You would probably be surprised to learn that this condition affects nearly 20 million people across the United States, with an additional six million cases diagnosed every year. This probably doesn't make you feel much better, but at least you know you're not alone. These numbers also mean that there is constant research on how to cure this condition.
What Causes Venereal Warts?
The Human Papilloma Virus, or HPV, is responsible. While there are over 100 strains of HPV, only about 30 cause this specific condition. Since it's a sexually transmitted disease, most of the time it's spread through oral, vaginal, or anal sex with an infected partner. Experts estimate that approximately 66% of the people that are infected contracted the disease through sexual activity. Other possible ways of transmission include childbirth and contact with fomites. Fomites are objects that carry the disease form one person to another, such as bath towels or contaminated medical equipment.
What Are the Symptoms?
Most cases will start with grey, pink, or red cauliflower shaped lesions. They may appear flat or raised. These may be present on the penis, urethra, and around the rectal area. In most instances, it's not painful, but there are few cases that can cause extreme pain. Some will experience very little growth in the size of the warts, but others may find it grows to a huge mass.
Is There a Cure?
Currently, there is no cure for genital warts in men. However, there are several treatment options that can make the disease more manageable. These might include several over-the-counter products that work by destroying the tissue of the wart. These are relatively easy-to-use, cheap, and safe.
If these products don't work, then your physician may speak with you about cryosurgery (freezing the lesions off), the LEEP procedure (cutting the lesions off), or carbon dioxide surgery.
In Closing
Genital warts in men are very common. There is no cure, but there are several options for treatment. The best thing to do about this condition is to prevent the spread of the disease. This means you need to speak with your sexual partners before you become intimate.
