If anyone is going through this, I am more than happy to talk about my experience and the treatment I undertook. It was scary because I did not know anyone who had dealt with it.
I would like to give others some comfort that I did not have
I just found out I'm having some anal warts outside and got them treated by acid last couple weeks. They seem to disappear the day after. But I think I can feel some more deeper inside. I don't know which is the best way to remove them. Also how I can know that this virus is out of my system after I have treated. Lastly, I heard that drinking herbal tea, green tea help immuning your body from this virus. Is it true?
Thank you
I found out a few weeks ago I had them. I head to the surgen's office today for the consultation on having them removed from my anal area. I am nervous about it and I am embarressed. I have had 3 sexual partners my whole life. I married my 3rd one. We have been married for 4 years now and we have 2 little ones. My first thought was that my wife cheated on me because I never had these before but my doctor said that I could have contracted these years ago and they are just now surfacing. I just hope that the surgery doesn't take me out of work for long. Can't afford to be out of work. Mine are pretty big and have been spreading pretty quickly. They are very painful and I just want them gone.
I went to my gyno to get treatment for a yeast infection and she found HPV warts on my anus that I didn't know existed. I was mortified!! I have been with the same sexual partner for over 2 years. I thought STDs only happened to people that sleep around. I don't think I've done anything wrong yet I feel dirty and full of shame. I cry everyday yet I have nobody to talk to for fear I'll be judged. My boyfriend is as supportive as he can be, but he doesn't fully understand since he has no visible symptoms. I would like to know how other people have dealt with the embarrassment/feelings of shame and what kind of treatment I can expect when I go see the colorectal specialist next week. The warts itch and I'm pretty sure there are some deep inside too...I worry what they'll have to do to remove them. I also worry that they will come back since there is no cure for HPV. Any advice/support would be appreciated.
