Genital Warts Treatments

Genital warts treatments should be properly administered by a physician as side-effects can have very harmful effects. Normally, many warts disappear on their own, but it is usually advised to ensure proper medication is used for this purpose, as the warts may disappear but the Human Papilloma Virus, causing the warts may persist causing re-occurrences. Trichloroecetic acid and podophyllin solution are important chemicals which helps destroy the virus, curing the warts completely. There are various creams and lotions available in markets which contain these chemicals, but they can also be administered directly. Topical creams like Aldara are tried-and-tested solutions which provide beneficial results in the treatment process. Surgical removal of the warts includes processes like cryotherapy (freezing warts in liquid nitrogen) and laser therapy which are known to visibly reduce scars without affecting the virus. Eating foods rich in folic acid and beta carotene is an essential part of genital warts treatment.

Certain home remedies have produced beneficial results for various patients. Applying apple cider vinegar on the warts with a cotton pad helps dry up the warts and heal them. Onion juice (with salt), vitamin E oil, raw garlic pieces, fig juice etc are some other natural remedies to provide relief from genital warts.
