Genital warts are a problem that hundreds of thousands of people around the world. This is to discuss a sensitive issue and thus a lack of vital information makes the spread worse. Here I will try to distribute some of the most common misconceptions about genital warts.
For those who suffer from genital warts pain and shame can be overwhelming. The cause of genital warts is easy. Warts are caused by bacteria, such as HPV, or human papillomavirus. The virus is usually through sexual contact with another person who is infected and is experienced and active contact time with their infection. There are many misconceptions about the virus, its causes, treatments, and spread-ability. Here is a list of the most common myths and facts are related. They hope that presented by the diffusion of knowledge
Myth No. 1 women are the only ones who tend to develop an HPV infection and are more likely to develop genital warts.
HPV infection can occur regardless of their sex and spread worldwide. Men and women can become infected easily if they are sexually active, and infections can occur as easily as a single encounter with an infectious person. The woman was shown to be more susceptible to infections and have a visible sign, such as warts, but men are more at risk for the spread of infection by the lack of visible signs may be present.
Myth No. 2 Only a person who engages in unprotected sex can get genital warts.
Genital warts are mainly transmitted through unprotected sex, but the virus can be transmitted by contact with skin. survive, the virus is also able to skin for a short time, sharing of sex toys, or entry of a second partner infected with a condom can spread the virus.
Myth # 3 The condom is all it takes to protect you against genital warts.
Condoms can be effective to a point in preventing infection with HPV, but they are not 100% effective because they do not cover, in general the entire genital area. Condoms can prevent the spread by contaminated seed, but do nothing to prevent the disclosure of contact with the skin.
Myth # 4 If you do not see the warts that you are not infected means.
HPV infection can also present without any signs of symptoms. Not all infected people develop genital warts occur, and the warts are not always on the outer surface of the genitals. Especially women, warts can appear inside the vagina. The urethra and anus are also able to accommodate genital warts inside.
I hope this information is useful to have a better understanding of genital warts. Together we can help all of the spread of HPV and genital warts. Knowledge is the key to effective prevention of serious disease that has affected so many people worldwide each year. Share the knowledge here and help stop them.
