What’s life like and how bad are genital warts?
I haven’t been diagnosed yet but pretty sure I have warts. What’s life like going forward and how bad are they? I’m 22 year old male
I now men who use it as a way to abuse me. My warts I have three left from an outbreak I had three years ago. I can’t am have a relationship, a sex life and even condoms are not safe I can’t make my children lunch or breakfast. I believe I have the virus in my throat that the doctor’s brother decided to teach me a lesson. Yep if I forget I have it I can guarantee a helpful stranger will find a new place where I don’t itch fool me into thinking their could be relationship potential and before I know itchy something else. My local Genito-urinery clinic won’t treat them because they just dont want me to have a relationship or sex with any man because they believe I am bi-boost I am not. My ex husband sees it fit to conplain about me to a friend/cousin and have it seen that I am assaulted because I swear with furious anger towards him because I don’t live with my children because he just wanted a divorce and made me homeless and called me workshy when I am not at all I stayed at home to look after my 2 small children at the time. Because he can’t handle my totally understandable hatred toward him I get assaulted, because men think I am an evil mum I get assaulted, because I have genital warts I get abused and and have to be celibate. The Nhs Genitourinary clinic in Weston super mare are in serious danger of patients neglect and into human abuse territory with their decision not to treat me. They are fully aware of the abuse I have received and my ex husband’s cousin works there too. How’s that for messed up patient system. And No husband, no home, no children, no intimacy, can’t make them lunch, can’t have any sexual contact. My ex also earns 80,000 grand ish he also wants child support form someone he helped to create as undesirable to many employers, so he’s good at understanding the likelihood of getting anything from me. He made me undesirable. So that’s probably another reasons the clinic have got themselves way too involved. They just think I should never be able to meet anyone because I owe my children money. I buy them essentials and dinner when I can. And offer to take them to places to have fun and relax. So the warts stay as form of punishment for ever going out and spending money on myself in the hope i would meet someone. I was also classed as an alcoholic too. To further his undesirable bad ***** point and push it as far as he could. This creating I nice little way to stop me from going anywhere. Meeting anyone stoping sexual health treatment becaus I owe the loaded ******* money! I can’t hold down a job! Because I am undesirable and yeah I get abused by men all the time if I forget I have warts. I feel grosse. I ache from no being to relax with anyone. It’s all good my friend. I start pushing for immunovir and get it the hell out of your system. I have breathing difficulties too from having it in my throat. Good luck. Because I would ask for immunovir if I wasn’t so frightened of them saying no. I truly belive I have been served a death sentence from the NHS because I am poor. Buy some body lotion too with collagen I swear my skin is weird with this virus. Regarding the immunivir I will ask but I know i’all be treated in a “who do you think you are?” “you know that is for people better than Yaaaooou” kinda way
Well, first off, most warts are visually diagnosed so if you need definitive proof, insist they remove one and have it biopsied. That's the only way.
If indeed you have warts, it'll take your body a year or two to suppress the outbreaks. Outbreaks occur every one to three (maybe four) months taking on average one year to cease. Very few wart infection outbreaks last longer than two years.
When you have an outbreak, go have them frozen or electrocauterized off. Don't worry about scarring. It may look bad at first, but that skin is resilient so you'll never know after a bit.
Unfortunately, during this period you're contagious. The warts themselves are contagious, obviously, but between outbreaks your also contagious because the virus is getting ready for the next outbreak. Sex isn't out of the question, but should be done with full disclosure, condom use, and precautions to avoid skin to skin contact (base of penis not covered by condom is the danger zone).
Eventually, you hit a five to six month stretch with no new warts appearing. At this point, you may become cautiously optimistic that you're nearing the end of your outbreaks. Between six and twelve months, become more optimistic. Once you've had a year with no new outbreaks, you can pretty much consider yourself past the outbreak period. For all practical purposes, you probably aren't contagious now. You still do have the virus, but it's basically dormant. In the future, extreme stress or immune suppressing events could
trigger a relapse. Of course, you could always get exposed to another strain of it down the road.
I hope this helps. Any questions and I'd be happy to follow up. Best of luck and try not to catastrophize if you can.
