Hi doc. i have anal warts that are very irritating and itchy at times. i saw a gp 3 days ago and he gave me biocort which doesnt seem to make a difference. what should i now do?

Accepted Answer

These can be removed by laser ablation, freezing or chemical application. Some of these treatments require a general or regional anesthetic. You may want to see a proctologist or dermatologist for a 2nd opinion.

Question 3

What are goo d hme remedies for anal warts?

Accepted Answer

There are no home remedies to treat anal warts. If you have them externally, there is a good chance you have them internally as well . If you treat only the external, and not treat the internals, they will recur. They are caused by a virus and are sexually transmitted. You need to see a colorectal surgeon.

Question 4

The last time i was sexually active was last year. i'd like to know if it's possible to get anal warts if you haven't been sexually active and why?

Accepted Answer

Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV can be passed even when an infected person has no signs or symptoms. You can develop symptoms years after being infected, making it hard to know when you first became infected. In most cases, HPV goes away on its own, but sometimes it remains in the body and causes symptoms later, which you may be experiencing.

Question 5

Can you tell me about the best way to remove anal warts?

Accepted Answer

There are non surgical ways to remove them. If they are large or extensive, it may require surgery.

Question 6

Positive for hpv16and have anal warts..will it ever clear up?

Accepted Answer

Go away with treatment either med or surgical however you can not get rid of the virus. Your sexual partner needs to know your history too as the virus is transmitted sexually and they are at risk. Even if you dont have active disease you can still transmit the virus. There is a vaccine available which diminishes the risk of cervical, vaginal and anal cancer but its given to females/males upto 26.

Question 7

Question 8

Which type of surgery is performed for removal of inside anal warts ?

Question 9

Please answer! what kinda surgery is performed for removal of inside anal warts?

Accepted Answer

Anal warts are common - caused by hpv virus which many people have. They are not dangerous, but are contagious and should be removed. 
If only a few are present inside the anus, a doctor can burn or freeze them in the office with only a scope and local anesthesia. However, if many are present, a trip to operating room is needed. Eventually, all will be destroyed and you'll be ok.

Question 10

Is it true that surgery is required in order to remove anal warts or can anal warts disappear on their own?

Accepted Answer

Almost all warts -- common warts of the hands and feet, genital warts, anal warts -- are eventually cleared by the immune system. They'll probably resolve, but it seems to take longer, often several years, for anal warts. If many warts or especially large ones, infection and other complications are a risk and surgery usually is wise. Just a few warts can be treated by freezing, imiquimod, etc.
