Close HPV

I found out I had HPV genital warts in August 2008. I'm still getting used to the process and still have some pretty rough days. All I can say is that reckless behavior isn't worth these treatments and the worst part for me is that I don't feel like I can inform people on the subject as it's pretty embarrassing and there are stigmas. I was so scared before I went to the doctor-knowing how many people deal with this, I wish I could be more open to help others that are scared.

Treatments

Condylox Too Soon to Tell

My doctor said that some people experience pain and some don't. I had podophylin done WITH liquid nitrogen didn't feel anything except some burning until the 6 hour mark came, then it felt like I was getting burned. I washed it off and the next day didn't go so well. Sitting down hurt as it felt like I had been burnt down there. Too soon too tell if it's been working.

Liquid Nitrogen Too Soon to Tell

Hurt worse than the TCA acid, but the nextd day symptons were no where near as bad as TCA...I was able to resume life as normal. I didn't see any changes within the week and had to go back and get it done again WITH podofilox. We'll see what happens.
