Scientifically, the genital warts are called Condylomata acuminate and they are often caused due to a virus called the Human Papilloma Virus or HPV. The external appearance of the genital warts may differ from person to person, but by and large, they appear as flat cauliflowers on the upper surface of the skin. The most common places where the genital warts appear are:

o    Rectum

o    Vulva

o    Penis

o    Cervix

o    Scrotum

o    Vagina

When you go to the doctor to get the genital warts removed, you may want to ask how to remove genital warts completely. Most doctors may give you treatment options that get rid of the genital warts on a temporary basis. After few months of the doctor’s treatment, you may find that the genital warts reappear. The reappearing genital warts may or may not be at the same place where they were originally situated. Most doctors may give you all the details of the treatment and also the pros and cons.

There are some treatments that may cause scars after the treatment. So, it is very important that you take a lot of care during and after the treatment. The mildest forms of the genital wart medication are the topical creams or lotions. The doctors may first try the topical medications for the treatment of the genital warts. The topical medications may be very beneficial when the genital warts are not many in number. When the genital warts have fused together to form a complex network of genital warts, then it becomes difficult to treat with topical medications.

If one genital wart medication is not working for you, try and opt for another medication. Some genital wart medications may dissolve the genital warts in some patients whereas in others they may not work. The trial and error method is also used for the removal of genital warts. There are some good books available which will give you good information related to the genital warts. One such book is “How to remove genital warts the natural way” These books give you natural home remedies to get rid of genital warts.

You may want to try out the home remedies first before going to the doctor for the medication—there is absolutely no harm in it. Home remedies use substances such as oils and plant products that are used in your everyday life at home. Garlic is considered to be the greatest enemy of the genital warts virus. The antimicrobial action of garlic is a known fact but very few know that it is used for the removal of genital warts also. Garlic is often used in combination with other oils such as the tea tree oil for better effect.

To prepare this home made remedy, the patient needs to crush a clove of garlic and then mix it with one teaspoon of vitamin E oil. Both these natural ingredients are mixed well and then applied on the genital warts. The garlic and the vitamin E oil paste may not stick to the skin so you may have to use a medicated tape to fix it on to the skin. If you have apple cider vinegar, then you can also use it for the removal of genital warts.

Apple cider vinegar is often directly applied on to the genital warts. Alternatively, you may use a cotton ball to soak the apple cider vinegar and then apply the wet cotton ball to the genital warts. During the genital wart treatment, the doctor may ask you to follow a restricted diet plan. The doctor may ask you to eat foods that are rich in folic acid and beta–carotene. Your genital wart diet may also include fruits that are orange, red, or yellow in color. Dark colored leafy vegetables are also recommended during the genital warts treatment.

Personal hygiene is also very important during the treatment of genital warts. Because the genital warts are a contagious disease, the doctors may also ask you to refrain from any sexual activity. Experts believe that the use of a condom can prevent the genital warts from spreading from an infected person to a healthy person. People infected with genital warts must make sure that they don’t transmit the infection to a health person.
