I just started my journey with this. Its all new to me and everyday I am a little more nervous about it. Just keep trying dont ever give up. I know its like "yea ok whatever, been there done that" but all you can do it try nothing will defeat you unless you let it. In life there is this huge banister that we slide down and on the way down we are bound to get a splinter in my butt from time to time. I have been trying to look at it like , this is somthing that makes me different. This is somthing that was given to me as a blessing some how. Maybe I am supposed to educate others, maybe I am supposed to grow stronger. Right now I still dont know but all I can do is apperiate every single day that I get. Try to keep your head up and dont stop trying. My prayers are with you love.

i am 25 years old and i want to know everything about HPV so i can have some closer in my life

Hi Charlie,
Is it HPV 6 or 11 that you have (the wart causing types)? I was told that the virus should clear within two years on its own. Did the doctor say why it hasn't cleared in your case? I'm trying to understand more about the virus.
Thanks.

Hang in there.

Have you made changes to your diet/health routine? Try adding fish oil and other supplements that help boost your immune system.

Charlie-

I just found out 3 years ago that what I have been trying to get rid of is actually a genital wart. It has been 20 years for me. The past three years have been hard, but it is getting better. It does suck going to the doctor every 6 months or so, but you have to keep hope. How are you doing?

I have had HPV for 12 years also and same thing, not cancerous. But last time I had the freezing cells procedure, the Dr told me if it comes back again then we are removing my uterous. So maybe that would work for you also! good luck

Same thing for me. Certain strains are for life. I compare it to HIV inasmuch as there is a viral load that either goes up or down. The lower it is the less likely it will show up in a pap smear. Once it goes up again, it returns a positive showing on a pap.
My doctor is very conservative thankfully. I have not rushed to have anything else done other than watch it carefully with no reprecussions.
What works for me is a combination of supplements, but I have to take them consistently in order to work.
I use a mushroom complex, a red algea supplement, an immune boosting supplement and a DIM supplement daily.
This is not cheap either as obviously medical insurance doesn't cover, but it does work.

Hey there... 15 years of HPV 16 here. Laser, cone biopsy, and yes, even after a hysterectomy.. still came back.. constant battle. I’d love to know what would help! If you ever find out, let me know! no, I’m not a smoker either... I didn’t quite understand it all til after my hysterectomy. I thought that would be a cure. I was told that it is a virus that can go dormant for a while but will forever be in my body.i didn’t understand the different types. I’m sorry if this scares you but I’m glad I finally knew as my dr didn’t want to scare me. I wish someone had told me. There has to be something out there to help.

Hi shanas I tried sending you a msg but can you pls msg me as I have some questions thanks !

Hey even I had these genital warts spring up every now and they basically messed up my married life too. The doc said that I have to live with it for life, but luckily I had these neighbours who were deep into ayurvedic knowledge and he said that viruses can be flushed by your body’s immune system and no antiviral drug can do that . He recommended some ayurvedic powders for me to take, and whislt I was reading up on them, I came across this site that deals with the same herbs but has them in a pill form. I immediately got onto their doctor helpline and to my luck, they are a dedicated team of alternative medicine practitioners and the doc recommended a 4 month regimen to me with ayurvedic herbs like hypericum mysorense, Echinacea, AHCC etc and some homeopathic imprints. Oh what a life saver, I’ve been having them for 6 weeks now and there is definite lift in my body energy and have had no warts since then of course it is a little early, I’ve been asked to continue for 4 months for better results.

I just recently detected warts in my vaginal and mouth area. The man I was with did not tell me he had it. I then gave it to my son's father and I was so scared to tell him but he held me and said it's going to be okay and he isn't mad about it. He explained to me it's very common and it made me feel alot better. I've done alot of researching on hpv genital warts and it's basically the common cold of the STI 80% of the sexual population will have come across hpv. It's not because your dirty or a whore or anything it's inevitable. But stuff I'm still researching is how it's contracted... Can you get it from drinking after someone who has it orally... And can I still give my son kisses I don't want him to have this. I still need to go to the doctors along with my son's father and IDK what doctor to go to! But just knowing my son's father isn't mad and he is with me through this all and I'm with him is enough for me. It will affect your relationship with someone I will say that but educate them on this virus. I'm in nursing school and I learned it stays dormant for long periods of time. The warts may not have shown up on the person but they shown up on you. It's very common and that makes me feel so much better.

I was diagnosed with anal warts maybe 6 months ago. The ones that cause warts. I'm constantly having anxiety attacks because of it.im using imiquimod. Did this work for anyone?
