can anyone provide an extensive description of genital warts? i'm not quite sure if i have them on my ass or they're just simple warts. i'm scared of going to the doctor.i'm embarrassed actually. a 17 y.o having genital warts? i think that's just wrong. can anyone shed some light?what can i do to remove them in case these really ARE genital warts? thanks for all the potential help.
Were I a doctor, I think I would feel it`s no more embarrassing to contract an STD than it is a flu, regardless of your age. I know I`m a teacher, and that`s the way I feel now. Both are infections, transmitted by human contact. And sex is the biological function that brought me, the hypothetical doctor , into being. Although, HPV may be contracted by non-sexual means: sharing towels, toilet seats, etc (unlike HSV, or HIV). And that is why it`s the most common STD there is. Of course, you can google them. But be prepared, the pics might be even grosser than whatever is going on on your ass. Good luck! Edit: I would not try to remove them, or diagnose them, without medical assistance. Might I suggest public clinics with confidential treatment (it`s no one else`s business, anyway)...If you live far, there`s always Amtrak.
A wart anywhere would be better off removed in this day and age. It is a relatively simple and painless procedure. Don't be afraid or embarrassed, you pussy, I dread to think what a useless piece of shivering shit you are if the thought of going to the doctor's embarrasses you. Is it not scarier to think that if you don't go to the doctor's and get the infection stemmed then they could vastly increase in number and start interfering with your everyday life? Or that you could spread them to your family, friends or even strangers? Going to the doctor's is the responsible thing to do. Embarrasment is one of the most selfish feelings. If they are genital warts and you got them through non-sexual (or sexual for that matter) means then honestly you have my sympathy, just please don't subject someone else to the infection too, please. I read once that once you have genital warts, the infection never leaves you. They can reappear at any time anywhere on the body, especially the genitals and mouth.
It's called tough love. I'm just so sick of all the whining and pussiness going on in the world today, people seem to CHOOSE to make things worse for themselves.
Please julialikesicecream get the facts rather than asking for help here. I can understand your embarrassment, but I'm certain the Dr. will make no judgment calls or anything like that. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001889/ http://www.cdc.gov/std/treatment/2010/genital-warts.htm @justlivelife are you schizophrenic or suffer from multiple personality disorder? Some of your posts reflect thoughtfulness and intelligence and then there's ones like the above.
just google "genital warts" and switch to images and compare...Im pretty sure there is some images available but i sure as hell aint going check for you
instead of a general practitioner - visit a sexual health clinic. there is no need to be embarrassed at a place like that, unless you are going in there for something that isn't to do with your manhood. so you won't be judged, and your problem can likely be fixed. it's always best to check yourself out - it's better to be safe than sorry as they always say. good luck.
I had always been told that they can only be transmitted by sexual contact, the same as crabs. In fact, I had been told that crabs can not survive without a human host for more than 45 seconds... Yet, I've seen a guy (in the Navy) pick them off, and put them in a lid with rubbing alcohol and they swam around for more than an hour. Then, I think about the "genital warts are only transmitted through sexual contact". Two weeks ago, or so, I was in a restaurant, and two Catholic Nuns behind me were talking about how they had to get their warts removed. From what they were saying, they both used the same restroom stall in a rest area along the highway about six months earlier. I could be dead wrong, but I think there might be a chance that theirs was not contracted through sexual contact. Although, I've never had reason to worry about it, I do know that if you do a little research, you can find "over-the-counter" remedies to remove the warts. They're supposed to be effective, but may have to be applied as often as 8 times a day. (Might be an interesting challenge if you're working behind the jewellery counter at Wal-Mart) You can do a Google search for "GENITAL WARTS", and look at "IMAGES" to compare them to what you have. (If you are unable to see them directly on your body, you may want to use a mirror. You could also use a cell phone to take a pic of them and study them that way, but be sure not to publish them or you could get accused of "Anthony Weiner Syndrome")
