default
Posted on Wed, 9 Apr 2014
Question: Sir I am suffering from growth around my anus which seem like Genital warts from images I have seen in the internet. It is painless and I feel no irritation during the day. But at night I get a lot of itching in my genital area.. I had unprotected anal sex once which might have caused it and am very worried.I am hesitant to approach a doctor and would like you to recommend home remedies of medicines for my condition. Will I transmit this disease to my partner?I am coming to XXXXXXX this weekend if you are available.

Brief Answer: Yes, you can transmit this to your partner Detailed Answer: Hello, Welcome to Healthcare Magic, Your history and the clinical symptoms are suggestive of Anogenital Wart or Condyloma Acuminata. This is a type of sexual transmitted disease. Wart which is painless and itching are the classical of Anogenital Wart or Condyloma Acuminata, which is caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection can be transmitted to the partner as this is a sexually transmitted disease. This should be diagnosed by physical examination and PAP smear of the scrapping of the wart and confirmed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The treatment for this condition includes Cryotherapy- which should be done in the hospital. or Local application of 0.5% solution of podophyllin, which should be applied twice daily for 3 days and nothing should be applied for next 4 days (7 days cycle). This cycle should be continued for 4 weeks. or Local application of 5% Imiquimod cream for 3 times in a week for 16 weeks (4 months). Hope i have answered your query, if you have any further query feel free to post them. Thank you.

these seem to be topical applications. But is there any medicine to eliminate the virus from the body. Any lifestyle changes is necessary.Moreover can u suggest specific medicine names which I can ask for in the shop? Where can a PAP smear be done in Mangalore or Manipal? Will I transmit to my partner even after treatment?

Brief Answer: Kasturaba Medical College, Manipal Detailed Answer: Hello, It is my pleasure to answer your query, Human Papillomavirus (HPV) affects only the skin and it will be localized to the wart. Once the wart is cleared by topical application of cream you will become free from infection. It is transmitted to your partner, if you indulge in unprotected sexual activity during the presence of lesion. Once the wart is cleared by the topical medicines you can have normal sexual activity and you will be non infectious. 5% Imiquade cream is available in the drug stores, which should be applied over the wart on alternate days for 4 months. Before application of this cream you need to apply Vaseline over the wart and then you have to apply the imiquade cream. Mean while you have to boost up your immunity which helps to clear your wart. To boost the immunity you need to take orally capsule Zincolac, daily for 30 days. During the treatment you should adopt health life style like avoiding unprotected sexual activity, multiple sexual partners and going to commercial sex workers. The PAP smear will be done at Kasturaba medical college hospital, Manipal. Hope all your doubts are cleared, if you any further query i will be happy to answer them. Thank you.

Brief Answer: Apply only over the Wart Detailed Answer: Hello, It is my pleasure to answer your query, Aplly 5% Imiquade cream only over the wart on alternate days and take oral Zincolac once daily for 1 month. For your itching you can take oral antihistamines like Tab Levocitrizine twice daily for 10 days. Abstinence is a good practice until the warts are cleared. As such for the treatment of wart there is no diet restriction. Avoid hard food that's all. Hope I have answered your questions, it is my pleasure to answer any further query. Thank you.

Thanks a lot for your answers! I have read that imiquade cream doesn't cure GW completely and can cause it to spread: http://www.theswisspharmacy.com/product_info.php?info=p9660_Imiquad-Cream.html Is the combination treatment(imiquade+zincolac) sufficient for curing the infection

Brief Answer: Topical Imiquade has got excellent results Detailed Answer: Hello, 5% Imiquade cream over the wart on alternate days for 4 months has got excellent results in curing the wart. I have used this cream for my patients and it has got very good result. For immediate treatment of your wart you can choose cryotherapy procedure, which should be carried out in the hospital after the investigations.
