Question 1

are there any natural remedies for hpv? to embarrassed to go see a doctor about it.

Accepted Answer

Yes for topical HPV: Yes, small amounts of vinegar can be applied
with a cotton tipped applicator to small, 
external genital condyloma, but usually
a stronger, trichloroacetic acid solution is
more effective at treating genital condyloma
infections which are caused by hpv (human
papilloma virus). Also, taking a daily multivitamin and eating a diet high in antioxidants can help boost one's immune
system and fight hpv.

Question 2

why is it that not all women over 75 years of age can be cured of vaginal cancer(vaginal cancer caused by hpv viruse) even if they seek treatment at the earliest stage of symptoms? please help me?

Accepted Answer

: cancer 'cure' is still not accurately predictable in any form of cancer

Question 3

can you tell me the best treatment for severe squamous dysplasia? can my body cure itself of this? will the hpv vaccine help?

Accepted Answer

Severe dysplasia: The HPV vaccine is to prevent dysplasia and does not treat it once you have it.The best treatment depends on many factors including your age, your desire for more children, and the resources/treatment options available where you live as well as the expertese of the practioner.Some treatment is advisable since it would be rare but not impossible for your body to take care of this atage of dysplasia

Question 4

i have hpv.i know there is no cure.it has caused me to have chronic lower back pain and pain in my upper thigh.is there treatment for those symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Not related: The symptoms you describe are not due to hpv infection. Hpv causes either benign warts or pre cancerous skin changes. The only reason one could have back pain/ leg pain is if there is advanced cervical cancer.

Question 5

can an 80-year-old woman be cured of vaginal cancer(vaginal cancer caused by hpv) if she seeks treatment immediately after the first symptoms appear of vagina canser?(*her immunity has been reduced due to factors such as diabetes, her age and etc...?

Accepted Answer

: many factors are involved in treating any cancer. stage, type, patient characteristics etc. This would be best determined by the treating MD

Question 6

how can my husband get treatment for hpv?

Accepted Answer

Urologist: Most males with condyloma on the genitals are treated by urologists.  Some family physicians also treat this. The surgical options are best handled by a urologist (eg laser treatment).

Question 7

is propolis effective for treatment of hpv?

Accepted Answer

Wouldn't bother: Ingested propolis or other similar "natural" product have a cult following for some conditions but the product has no firm scientific or clinical basis for treatment. Those with genital HPV warts can have them removed by freezing/chemical application or laser destruction. The healthy immune system will eventually clear them in 2 yrs or so.

Question 8

if you are diagnosed with hpv is there any treatment also does it shortin the life span?

Accepted Answer

Long term issue: Hpv is a member of a class of dna viruses that tends to stay in your system long term. Like a cold sore it can surface & disappear many tomes. The warts that some strains cause can clear spontaneously over a few years, be lasered off or distroyed by topical meds but they can return years later.

Question 9

not all hpv goes away.why do doctors wait til age 30 to offer treatment?some test before but not all. if have high grade at 30 what is the treatment?

Accepted Answer

HPV: I know of no physician, especially those serving women, who would ever wait till 30 to do a pap smear.  The pap smear is the basic test for hpv related cervical changes.  The only reliable test for hpv in a pap smear is fairly new called the hybrid hpv dna test and is offered at each pap smear.  American medicine has no standard of care that would postpone this important test until thirty.

Question 10

isnt my doctor supposed to give me treatment for hpv?

Accepted Answer

??Treatment??: The wart strains do have  some available treatments, while the others are just monitored.The immune system will eventually clear the primary infection.However, this family of virus strains tend to stay in your system forever,treatment or not.Try to get more info from your source of care.
