Suggest Remedy For Recurring HPV With Burning Sores On Vagina, Cracked Skin And Pressure On Pelvis
I have had hpv for about a year now. Had it treated twice but it has never gone away. It has spread over my entire vagina and sometimes the sores can cause discomfort. But over the last three days I have had a intense burning sensation inside my vagina. The skin surrounding the entrance is cracked and red this has also spread to my Anus and the skin In between the two which is making it difficult to walk or sit because the pain is so intense. The pain worsens when I urinate and there is a dull pressure pain on my pelvis at each side near where my vagina starts into my leg crease which is constantly there too. I m 21 female. Never had kids

Hello,
You have been suffering from HPV infection since a year and now the infection is spreading from vagina to anus. It seems HPV has started causing genital warts. Genital warts spread through sexual contact most of the times. Avoid sex. For relief, you can apply Imiquimod (Aldara, Zyclara) cream in the area affected. Get urinalysis (R/E and C/S) done. Some patients do report that the warts go away by themselves within a year or two but HPV is a chronic contagious infection that often goes for a lifetime. For pain relief, you can take analgesics.
You can get the warts removed but they frequently recur. There are more than 40 strains of HPV that affect the genital area. HPV (types 6 and 11) cause genital warts. Some strains cause cancer(cervical, vulva, vagina, etc). Removal is done by cryotherapy, electro-desiccation, surgical excision, LEEP, or laser treatment. It cannot be cured but the symptoms can be treated with a course of podofilox or other medications. You are suggested to get Pap smear and other screening tests for cancer done, this is to stay on the safer side. Take a balanced home made nourishing diet to boost your immunity. You can take supplements for immunity.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
