You should really listen to alex when he says they aren't very serious.
IF it is warts, then it's low risk. And for womenWomen's way's health that is very good news as it does not cause cancer. They 80% of people by the age 50 will have had HPV. It's commonCommon cold. Some get warts, some don't ever show.
It's depressing news as I was just told that I had low risk HPV and I'm a guy. But you gotta move forward with life and realize it could be WAY worse.
I post a lot here, and sometimes I can be very direct. I don't mean to belittle your emotional response.
Very few people who are diagnosed with genital warts simplySimply sleep shrug it off, but if you have warts, it is important to put the virus in perspective. As living4today said, the strainsStrains of HPV that cause warts do not cause cancer. They are primarily a cosmetic concern. Having genital warts may interfer with your dating plans, but for almost everybody, it is a temporary infection.
I hope you are wart free, but if not, please try to get past this infection.
Take a look at cdc.gov for some further information with it.
Also, if it is warts the best thing you can do is treat your body right. Meaning eat healthy and exercise. I currently am flushing my system with green tea, vitamins and immune boosters. Hopefully the green tea will wake my immune system up.
My partner only drinks green tea (probably a pint a day) and never got any warts.
Anyways, try to relax as much as possible and just become informed on the subject which will help a great deal.
