so you're confident they're genital warts right?
if so, there has not been any known facts about masturbating that triggers growths of warts or more outbreaks of warts.
It is very common to go without symptoms of HPV for years even or never. You couldve gotten it from anyone.
Yes genital warts go away on its own usually but only after more growths of it so you want to try to get treatment for the warts. The best one I would recommend is to freeze it off, this is done by a professional. If you are wanting medication still, I dont have any recommendations but aldara seems to be popular.
How long HPV takes to go away depends on your immune system. on average i'd say 1-2 yrs but for a good immune system it would be around 8 months.
They is no harm in leavin your warts alone, cleaning or ignoring them. You will just pass them on to someone who does not have it during sex.
eh well u need to ask a doctor no one can diagnose u online, however if it infact were hpv your immune system should take care of it on its own.
