Genital Wart Treatment for Condyloma

What are Genital Warts?
Tiny flat bumps, or bumps that look like cauliflowers. They appear on the sexual organs of men and women and can also appear on the buttocks. In some people, the wart virus can be present in the skin even though warts cannot be seen.
How do you get Genital Warts?
Having sex with someone who has warts, whether they are visible or not.
How do you find out if you have Genital Warts?
You'll see wart-like bumps on your sexual organs. These need to be checked by a doctor or nurse. It may take from four weeks to three months, or longer, for the warts to appear after you have been infected, and they may never appear.
You could have genital warts and not see them.

How are they treated?
Genital warts need to be treated with medication applied by a doctor or a nurse. Treatment often involves more than one visit. The person(s) you have sex with also need to be examined.
Important: If your sexual partner has had warts, you should have an exam. Once the warts have been treated, have an exam or examine yourself every three months for a year. It is important to take care of warts when you find them because some of the strains of the virus that causes them can lead to precancerous cell changes of the cervix. All women exposed to Genital wart treatments must have a pap smear once a year.

How do you reduce the risk of spreading Genital wart treatments?
By using a condom. Continue using them until no new warts appear for at least two months. The wart virus may still be present in your skin even after the warts have disappeared. (At this stage, the risk of passing on the infection is quite small.)
Should you be tested for other sexually transmitted diseases (STDS)?
If you have different sexual partners, or if your partner has different partners, you should also be tested for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV (the virus linked to AIDS). You may also need a test for syphilis and shots to prevent hepatitis B.

General STD prevention:
You can avoid getting a sexually transmitted disease Condyloma (STD):
Have sex with only one partner who is not infected and who is having sex only with you.
Use condoms. Condoms offer protection against STDs but they must be used properly (see below).
Have regular STD check-ups.
Decide not to have sex.
How to use a condom
Use only latex condoms.
Don't store condoms for a long time in a wallet, or near extremes of heat or cold.
Check the expiry date on the Condyloma package.
Open the package carefully so you don't tear or damage the condom.
Put the condom on before any sexual touching.
You can use a water-soluble lubricant such as K-Y, ForPlay, or contraceptive gel. Oil-based lubricants such as Vaseline or baby oil should not be used, as they can damage the latex of the condom.
Use a new latex condom every time you have sex.
Used correctly, condoms provide considerable protection against pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and HIV (the virus linked to AIDS).

Putting on a condom
Hold the tip of the condom between two fingers to squeeze out the air. This leaves some room for the semen when the man ejaculates.
Put the condom on the end of the hard penis.
Keeping hold of the tip of the condom, unroll it onto the hard penis all the way down to the pubic hair.

After ejaculating

Pull the penis out while it's still hard, holding on to the condom so it doesn't slip off.

Condoms with lubricants
Some lubricants contain chemicals (spermicides) to help protect against unwanted pregnancy. If they irritate your genitals, don't use them.
