HPV- IS IT SAFE TO WAIT?
by concernedmale001, Jun 21, 2009 11:52AM
All the reading I have been doing says that your immune system will catch up and suppress the virus. If that is true is it safe not to treat the warts and allow them to go away on there own?
Has anuone not treated them or treated them at home and had them go away?
Thanks

That said, if left untreated, your warts will probably go away on their own. After all, your immune system response is what clears the virus. Treatment is recommended because it may help speed the process and make you less contagious. Furthermore, if left untreated, there is a risk that your warts will grow in size, multiply in numbers and become more difficult to treat. If warts are present in high friction areas, they can become painfull and blead. Warts within the urethra can make urination diffucult.
Needless to say, I recommend seeing a professional and following his or her advice. The diagnosis itself if important, because not all bumps are warts.
