Human Papilloma Virus


May have itching, burning, mild pain or slight bleeding depending on the area infected. Some people have no symptoms at all and there is no way to predict if the wart will grow or disappear.
             This virus can be diagnosed by just looking at it. Doctors have found that women with genital warts get cancer of the cervix more often. This is why a Pap smear every year is advice to catch pre-cancerous cells while it is still easy to cure. Various terms have been used to describe he abnormal cells that may be seen in Pap tests. In the Bethesda system (the major system used to report the results of Pap tests in the United States), precancerous conditions are divided into low-grade and high grade squamous intra-epithelial lesions (SIL). Other terms sometimes used to describe these abnormal cells are cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia and dyspasia. Low-grade SILs are common condition, especially in young women. The majority of low-grade SILs return to normal over months to a few years. Sometimes this low-grade SILs can progress to high-grade, which are not cancer, but they may eventually lead to cancer and should be treated by a colposcopy, magnifying glass is used to view the vagina and the uterine cervical tissue.
             The most common symptoms for cervical cancer are abnormal bleeding. Bleeding may start and stop between regular menstrual periods, or it may occur after sexual intercourse, or a pelvic exam. Menstrual bleeding many last longer and be heavier than usual. Bleeding after menopause also may be a symptom of cervical cancer. This virus can be treated for many years, however not always treatment can eliminate the warts or the possibility that the virus and the warts will reappear after the treatment. Imiquimod cream or aldara cream was discovered by 3M pharmaceuticals. It is the newest in a class of drugs called immune response modifiers and represents the first new therapeutic approach to genital warts in five years.
