One symptom of the human papillomavirus (HPV) is genital warts. Their appearance varies from white, pink, or grey flat patches to bumps in clusters, and sometimes they can’t even be seen at all. They appear on the internal and external genitals, and in the skin around this region. Genital warts can also be found in the throat of someone who’s engaged in oral sex with an infected person. It’s important to note that even when the warts aren’t visible, the HPV virus is still present, so the infection can be passed on.

Often, genital warts will go away on their own; however, they may return again in the future. If a person has the warts, he/she may choose not to treat them and wait; before long, the warts may disappear. If he/she would like to remove the genital warts, the doctor’s office is a good place to start.

Treating Genital Warts with Creams

Non-prescription genital wart creams and other treatments should not be used (source – http://optinghealth.com/) These creams may have negative side effects such as burning or scarring.

A doctor may prescribe genital wart treatment creams that can be applied at home. He/she may also choose to apply a cream in the doctor’s office if the cream could cause burning if applied outside of the infected areas.

Multiple treatments may be necessary.

Stubborn Genital Wart Removal

Some genital warts won’t respond to basic cream treatments. There are a few options in these cases.

• Laser Treatment – Particularly stubborn warts often respond to this type of treatment.
• Cryotherapy – Freezing the warts can also be successful, though multiple treatments may be necessary.
• Interferon Injection – A doctor injects a chemical, called interferon, into the warts. This is a new treatment method.

A person infected with genital warts should talk to his/her doctor about treatment options. The doctor will consider the appearance of the warts, possible side effects, and the patient’s preference. In addition, pregnant women are not eligible for some genital wart removal creams due to possible side effects for the mother and fetus.

Genital Wart Prevention

Anyone suffering from genital warts, or who has had them in the past, needs to be aware that the HPV virus is contagious whether or not the warts are showing. If the warts have been treated successfully, it only means that the symptom is gone, not the disease.

Persons with HPV need to inform their sexual partners about the disease. Condoms can prevent the spread of the disease, but are not 100% effective as they don’t cover all the area that may be exposed to skin-to-skin contact during intercourse.

Any two people engaging in a sexual relationship should discuss risk factors for all sexually transmitted infections (STIs). If a person believes his/her partner may have been exposed to HPV, or may be at risk for it (risk factors include having unprotected sex and having sex with multiple partners), he/she should not have sexual intercourse with that person. Both parties should be tested for all STIs, including HPV, to ensure safety.

Genital warts can be treated, though the underlying HPV infection cannot be cured. Many options are available for those suffering from this STI, and the option best for any patient should be discussed with his/her family doctor.

Anacondas are considered to be dreadful. However, there is more to them than fear. These can be found on South America, among its Amazon jungles. They are categorized in the family of Boa Constrictor. These Anacondas can survive in swamps, lakes and as well as rivers. They can also live without anyone. Whenever they are put to danger, they seek water as some sort of protection. This is how they deal with it. A tenfold of Anaconda Snake Facts would also state that instead of attacking, they would select to slide and be in the water without getting noticed at all. This is possible too.

By nature, anacondas devour amphibious animals. Their favorites are toads, frogs, fish, turtles, ducks, birds and caiman. These snake-giants may reach up at least 6.1 meters, or 20 feet. As for their weight, they can be in a maximum of 300 pounds, or 148.5 kg. Anacondas are also unique when it comes to giving birth. They can bear a young and they may do this for around 24 up to 35 times as the maximum.

Up until now, scientists are having a hard time learning about these anacondas. They are not the easiest subject to ever research about. This is not surprising because they can be really quiet. There are instances when they will not leave any trail at all. They can also spend a portion of their lives wallowing in the dark waters. This is how their habitat can be.

However, most of their lives are spent in the water so that they will be able to move simply and easily. This is how they have always been.

As they stay in the water, the entire body, with the exemption of nostrils, will be submerged too. For around 10 minutes, they may be under the water. They will then go again on the surface so that it will be easy to grab air.

One mother’s journey to get a diagnosis for her autistic child.

When my daughter was six months old I began noticing that something just wasn’t quite right. But, I decided that I was just comparing her to her gifted older sister and convinced myself that the differences were all in my head. That did not last very long. With each passing week and month, the differences between the two children became glaringly evident and other people started noticing as well.

I started by talking to her pediatrician at a routine checkup. I explained that my daughter, now nine months old, refused all food other than formula and had never slept through the night. In fact, she never slept more than two hours at a time. The pediatrician dismissed my concerns and told me that my daughter would eat when she was hungry and sleep when she was tired. I was disheartened but figured that the pediatrician was right since she had the medical degree. I was merely a parent.

At her one year check up, I addressed the same issues as before. I also told the doctor that my daughter did not like loud noises, even normal every day noises, hated baths, and was expressing fears about things she had never been exposed to. She was also having severe toileting problems. The doctor referred my child to a speech pathologist to see if there was a swallowing mechanism problem. That was the only issue addressed.

At another visit, I expressed all of the aforementioned concerns. This time, the doctor referred my child to a gastroenterologist. It turns out, my child was allergic to the formula that she had been on for over a year and had developed allergic colitis. This was the primary cause for the food refusal and toileting problems. Finally, I felt like some progress was being made.

However, the food refusal did not improve after the allergen was removed from my daughter’s diet. My child was 18 months old and still drank formula. She had also begun refusing to communicate with people she didn’t “pick out” and would stare right through people that spoke to her without her consent.

At another pediatrician visit, I expressed concern about the new issues and was again dismissed. I was told I needed to let my child be herself and quit expecting her to be like her gifted older sister. It was a horrible slap in the face.

Finally, when my daughter turned two, I requested that my daughter be given a referral to a behavioral and development pediatrician in my area. The request was begrudgingly honored. I have never been more thankful than at that moment.

At the first visit to my daughter’s new doctor, he knew exactly what I was up against. I told him the story, as I have told you, and the lengths I had gone to so my daughter could be helped. I told him how frustrating the process had been and that it felt like no one was listening to me. The most comforting words I had heard from a doctor concerning my daughter came from him at that moment. He said “I am listening now.” He really was.

Tests were done on my daughter, questionnaires were completed by those closest to and most familiar with my daughter and the answers finally came. After two and a half years, my quest had finally come to an end. The diagnosis was Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. The doctor explained that he was almost certain that a diagnosis of Asperger’s Disorder would follow but that diagnosis could not be made until my daughter reached school age.

Because of my persistence and a doctor that finally listened, my child is finally receiving the occupational and physical therapy she so desperately needed. It appears that I am not alone in my frustration. Many parents face the same dilemma that I did. According to ScienceDaily: a study has shown that the parents of the females being studied had sought help for their child in early development but no help had been received and no diagnosis given.

The bottom line is that no one will ever know more about a child than the parent. Never let a doctor tell you that you are wrong or that nothing is wrong when you know there is. Keep pushing. Keep seeking answers. If your child’s doctor dismisses you, fire him or her and find a new doctor. A medical degree does not make a person omnipotent or infallible.
