Internal Warts
I first noiced a couple small bumps on the inside of my vagina about 7 months ago, i didnt think too much about it till 3 months later when i could still feel them. Then 1 day i went to the doc and she said its posibly warts caused by HPV..at the time i hadnt even heard of this virus. SHortly after this diagnoses i got my 2nd pap smear test which showed abnormal cells (low risk). Might be hard to beleive but i broke down and prayed to God in the restroom at the doctors clinic and the VERY next day these bumps were gone...completely gone.
A couple months later i noticed some small, raised but flat, flesh colored bumps again but they began to smooth out after maybe 3 weeks....i even went to the doctor to have another PaP smear test done since my last one showed abnormal changes in the cell and my doctor told me there were no lesions or bumps like be4 and told me it cant be genital warts because those dont go away. I felt relieved, but just recently i noticed cauliflower looking like warts which are waaaay more visible than be4. And 1 pimple looking bump in my anus. There is no pain, doesnt itch, no foul odor either. I feeel so bad, dont know what to do, cant picture myself being happy with a condition like this. Whats the best NATURAL treatment for vaginal warts..i heard about aloe vera, castor oil, tea tree oil, milkweed...
I'm still unclear on 1 thing. When you have an outbreak is it easier to spread HPV than when u have no outbreaks during sexual intercourse? Like if you treat the warts (i know there is no permanent cure) are u less likely to pass these warts on to ur partner?
Also i have a bf and i really need to talk to him about this and dont even knoww how...i make up lies to avoid seeing him, plz help

alexdelong is right, just keep checking on them. I had the strain that started as warts and after removal of those and three kids later no warts just cervical cancer. I did not want to believe that and waited to get treated and it went from a part hystorectomy to a full in six mo. I told the boyfriend of twenty years and he still in denial after seeing the warts on his head. He will understand when the flowers starting blooming on his penis. So keep checking and keep it clean. It doesent help to think about it so keep your head up! Once you see the doctor for treatement options youll be ok
I think most people who post in or follow the forums here understand what you are going through. The reason why we know a little about HPV is because most of us have had experience with the virus. Personally, I was diagnosed with genital warts in January. I was not particularly promiscuous, in fact, I have only had one partner in the last three years, but HPV is a an unavoidable part of a sexual life. I was unfortunate (or maybe fortunate) enough to contract a strain that caused genital warts. My last treatment for these warts was a couple of weeks ago. I hope that they will not come back, but I realize that I might have to deal with this for some time longer.
Warts suck. They interfere with your sexual life, they look terrible, and some people will judge you for having them. You need to remember that HPV is a very common virus. 95% of people with 3 or more sexual partners will contract one or more strains of the virus. It is THAT common.
The strain that causes warts, does only that. The strains that are associated with cancer don’t cause warts. So having genital warts really isn’t a big deal. Your immune system will eventually suppress the virus and you can forget the infection.
I know what it feels like, and I haven’t told very many people about my infection. I have told my father, he was supportive, and helped put things in perspective. I told a girl I dated since diagnosis, and she was not only supportive, but commended me on my honesty.
It is a hard thing to deal with, but it the grand scheme of things, genital warts are not serious. You will get beyond this infection. Don’t lose hope!

You should go back to the doctor for a diagnosis before starting any treatment program. While some people follow folk remedies, there is not data to prove that they work. You would be better off following a doctor prescribed treatment.
HPV is probably more contagious when warts are present, but is also likely contagious even after warts have been removed. If you have had warts within the last 6 months, it is safest to assume you may be contagious. In time, your immune system will supress or clear the virus and there will be low (or no) risk of transmission.
If you have HPV, your boyfriend has likely been exposed to the virus. Most partners share the infection and it could have originated with either of you. If the doctor thinks you have HPV, you should let your boyfriend know so that he can check for warts himself.
