Fed up
I have had them for 10 months in my anus I never new what it was and did not think much about it till a friend told me I should get it looked at so I did. After finding out on 1/31/12 that I got warts it really scared me a lot so I was told not to have sex till the warts are gone. OK NP so what shall we do doc? he sprayed my anus with that Nitro it sting some what but was OK after the 3rd visit I'm told so sorry the treatment has not done one thing for you! Oh just great now what? He tells me I need to see a dermatologist and that he could put a needle in my ass with some kind of drug that will kill the wart? I am think what the F are you telling me that dose not sound to fun to me! So OK I check when I can see the dermatologist some time in late June ahh that is nuts! I'm so upset thinking why even both doing any of this? I tell my GP I read Studies show that 90% of individuals are able to clear HPV when exposed in 2 years I ask him is that with treatment? He says no its with doing nothing at all. So why am I going though hell having treatment when your body can clear it in 2 maybe 3 years. I am so messed up I just don't know what to do anymore.03/1/12

Still upset not to sure what I should do treat my warts or forget about them and let my body deal with it. They really do not both me but there in my anus and I was told there is a lot of them I am scared of all the treatments I read and which one really works? I had the nitro spraying it did not hurt just a bit of stinging feeling but it did not work for me. I wonder if it was cause I did not do any treatments for 9 months? I took to long to see what it was I guess. I\'m very depressed my mood is up and down not knowing what to do.
I hate these warts I still don\'t know what I will do keep and wait and see or remove them?? I just don\'t know!
I am so sad that I got this and don\'t know how to deal with it anymore feel like ending myself
Anotherhvp,
WOAH. WOAH. You are going to be FINE. HPV is a common virus, and the warts it causes can in most cases be treated very successfully. You need to keep this in perspective. \"Ending yourself?\" No way.
Get some counseling. Get to another doctor. Make sure that doctor is an anorectal surgeon who specializes in treating anal condyloma (anal warts). DO NOT leave them untreated. While it is true that most people will clear the virus (and the warts) within two years, you want to do this under a doctor\'s supervision--warts left untreated can grow and spread to serious amounts and sizes.
Find a doctor (not a dermatologist) who specializes in LGBTQ health issues. They are in most major cities and suburbs. You are getting bad advice and bad support from your current doctor, and it\'s not helping you make the decisions you need to, and cultivate the healthy mindset you\'ll need to help you beat it.
PLEASE don\'t despair. You are far from the only person to go through this, and it is FAR from the worst thing you could have to go through in terms of STIs or STDs.
I am seeing another GP on the 14 of March I\'ll ask him what you said thanks for really helping me I am so down its not funny anymore.

I am glad for your input your giving me hope as I am really messed up on getting HPV. The first doctor I saw she could not care less and gave me a cream to put on my ass which I never did after reading what it would do. I saw a gay doctor in the city he seem to be on top of this by using the nitro spraying which I saw it was working after 3 times but he said no it was not working enough So he wants I see the dermatologist. which I was told he see me in late May or June that is far from now!. I do have another GP that is not part of the LGBTQ I will ask him that I want to see a rectal surgeon as you said. I am really scared of what will happen having warts inside I wonder how they will get to them? I think about how much pain I will be putting up with after?

Tomorrow I see another GP to see what he thinks is best for me to do. I am feeling some what better after reading a lot on this site and help from a few that wrote me made me feel less worried..... But I am still scared of what way to go but it seems the laser is the best way as I am not going to have acid on my anus! Plus that is a 12 week treatment and the laser is 12 weeks to recover I much rather that way. But Medicare here for surgery can take a long time to get maybe my HPV will clear up by the who knows!
Well I saw this other GP he just laugh and said its not a big deal and it will go away and don\'t worry about it? So I thank him and found another GP my 3rd will see him in April

I hate my warts but don\'t we all! I read so many stories on here how everyone is going though treatments and it just seems nothing really works how some get laser and more pop up so unfair to go though he\'ll and find more! Then I read about the cream how that burns and cost lots. As for me I have not done much yet still waiting to see the 4th doctor on what he thinks is best to do but really I am not bother much by it sure it\'s itchy at night but in the day never. I\'ve had them for 10 months thinking is it really worth going though all these treatments?? If there going to pop up with more? Maybe if I just forget about it my body will fix it so they go on there own but might take few years? Something to ask a doctor. One thing that sucks is giving up on a sex life but it was the cost of not being careful so stupid of me but that\'s in the past I can\'t go back.

Had a bad night at 3am my butt was so itchy had to get up and find some cream to help with the itch. Woke up later to find a pimple on my penis or is it a wart? I\'m not sure all I know is I am so fed up with HPV!! I hate it don\'t we all! I see a new Doctor next week I hope that he can help me clear this but we all know that its are body that does that on its own time I just don\'t want to see the warts. My sex life is over for a good while which sucks as we all know. I\'ll keep you posted on what comes next.

Saw a new STI doctor he looked at my anal warts and right away said you need a surgeon to get them removed. so I will set up see one and try to get myself ready for that I hate being put out and I know I\'ll be in a lot of pain after but they have to be removed.
