About male genital warts

Male genital warts are caused by a virus called HPV (The human papilloma virus). This virus spreads by skin to skin contact with an infected person during intercourse.

This virus is widely spread across the world and it is estimated that in the US there are more than 20 million Americans who are infected by the virus. Moreover, about 5.5 million new infections are declared each year.

It is important to note however that not all people who are infected by this virus show any symptoms of any kind. And in some cases, the symptoms of genital warts appear months or even years after the infection.

The symptoms of male genital warts are not always visible. Because in the first stages, they may be too small to be viewed with the naked eye and they may require a doctor to use specialized procedures to diagnose them.

However, common male genital warts generally appear in the form of grey, red or pink swellings that that grow quickly in the form of clusters.

They grow on the penis, the urethra, the scrotum, the anus and on the area between the scrotum and the anus. In some cases they can cause some itching and bleeding.

There are many natural remedies for genital warts. Here are the most widely used of these remedies:

1- One of the most widely used natural remedies for male genital warts is tea tree oil. This fabulous essential oil is used in the creation of many natural medicines for the treatment of many skin diseases like eczema and dandruff.

If you want to try this treatment, you'll have to put a few drops of high quality tea tree oil on a compress and tape it on the lesion at bed time. Then leave the compress taped on until the morning. Repeat this every day until the warts vanish.

3- Apple cider vinegar is another fabulous home remedy for genital warts. A lot of people have tried it and a big number are raving about it. The beauty of this home remedy is that it acts pretty fast compared to tea tree oil or castor oil. And the method for using it is pretty simple.

It consists on applying some apple cider vinegar on the genital warts at bed time and leaving it until the morning. The downside of apple cider vinegar is that it may cause some pain for some people. If that's the case for you, then you should apply for 30 minute periods 2 or three times a day. Generally, after the first two days you'll notice a change in the shape and colour of the warts and unless you have very big warts, you'll need no more than 10 days to get healed.

4- The other natural remedy for male genital warts is Castor oil. Rub the oil against the warts using a cotton ball or Q-tips on a daily basis until the warts die. Many people find the smell of castor oil to be a bit annoying, that why it is recommended that you use castor oil along with peppermint oil or lemon oil to cover its bad scent.

Male genital warts can also be cured using some creams. The most widely used are Imiquimod (which is marketed under the name of Aldara), Fluorouracicil (which is marketed under the name of Efudex) and Codylox which marketed as Podofilox.

It is also possible to treat male genital warts with surgery. There are four different procedures for that purpose.

Laser treatment consists on killing the warts using a powered laser beam. Cryosurgery consists on freezing the warts using liquid Nitrogen at -196°C, and finally surgical excision which consists on removing the warts tissues using a scalpel.
