Why does my genital warts come back every 5 years or so? stress? should i be concerned my body doesnt fully clear it? just feel defeated about it all any help would be appreciated?

First, make sure your apparent recurrent warts are truly warts, i.e. professionally diagnosed. Assuming they are warts: delayed recurrence is not all that rare and usually there is no known cause; it appears to be random. Although nobody wants warts, this shouldn't be such a big deal; just have them treated again and try to view this as an inconvenience, not a serious health problem. Good luck.

Recurence depends on the body immune system and type of virus. stress may lower immunity. Don't feel defeated . Getting recurrence every five years is way better than a lot of people who get them very often. Think positive, eat healthy and exercise and may be you might not have a recurrence I Wish you well
