How to Get Rid of Genital Warts Naturally
While I've been fortunate and careful enough to stay away from genital warts, some of the people I know have not been so lucky in the past. Studying Nursing as my major course, I've been taught about the technicalities of this condition, its origin, contributing factors, preventive measures, management, etc. However, what has not been taught to us is how to get rid of it by natural means. Getting rid of genital warts naturally is a subject many find interesting due to their relevant circumstances. To help you cure genital warts, I've compiled some tested and proven home remedies you can try.
But before we tackle curative measures, what is genital warts? And how does it start to grow in our body? Surely it isn't anything like mushrooms, wherein it sprouts all of a sudden overnight. In a nutshell, genital warts is a medical condition rooted from a viral infection. The warts are characterized as puny, benign growths. Although, a woman with genital warts is highly prone to develop cervical cancer thus mitigating its benign nature. Genital warts are an extremely contagious STD and are accountable for all health problems nearly 100% of the time.
Genital warts typically start spreading in the body through seeping in cuts and scrapes in the skin surface. Nail biting may also induce warts to spread within the fingers and nails. There is also a possibility to contract genital warts from the use of another infected person's belongings, such as towels or clothes.
So, how do you get rid of genital warts? Since genital warts were discovered by the medical field, various types of genital warts treatment have been created and offered for relief. While they were proven safe and effective by medical practitioners, some sufferers of genital warts were eager to look for a less invasive and cheaper remedy thus the emergence of different home remedies for genital warts.
Common home remedies for genital warts that have been proven safe and effective include - applying bleach two to three times per day, applying castor oil to help remove genital warts entirely, applying a slice of fresh garlic over castor oil and then taping it in place and leaving it overnight. I've talked to a few people who actually tried on these home remedies and most of them found relief through the above solutions. Nonetheless, I warn those who are willing to try out these home remedies that some won't find relief from using these interventions as results may vary from one case to another.
Another great home remedy for genital warts is a banana peel patch. This can be applied on the area with genital warts overnight. Coating the general warts with vitamin A or beta carotene twice per day can also help cure the condition.
Along with these applications, lifestyle modification should also be considered. An aspect greatly important for prevention and removal of genital warts is hygiene. Once you identify presence of HPV in your skin, you must aim to improve your hygienic practices. You should also wear underwear made of 100% cotton and change them at least twice or thrice per day. When washing underwear, use only natural or mild detergents.
While many of these interventions I've found to work quite efficiently, you should make it a point to seek for more expert opinion from your physician.
