Condylomata acuminata, more commonly known as genital warts, are regarded as a sexually transmitted disease.  They appear in the genital area in the moist tissue region.  Their appearance is cauliflower-like or show up as tiny bumps that are flesh colored.  They may also grow together to form a group.

These growths can appear anywhere in the genital area to include the vagina, the vulva, the cervix, and/or the area that lies between the anus and the vagina.  Genital warts in a man are on the shaft of the penis, the tip of the penis, the anal area, and/or the scrotum.  A person can also have genital warts in the mouth or throat if he or she has had oral sex with another person that has genital warts.

Genital warts are of very great concern.  The virus that genital warts stem from is the HPV or human papillomavirus.  This virus has been found to be associated with various types of cancer in the genital area affecting both men and women.  Treatment for genital warts is done by the use of medications and/or surgical procedures.  Read more...

Besides the many questions a woman may ask about menopause and its symptoms, one of the most asked questions revolves around the loss of one’s sex drive. You’ll be happy to know it’s not altogether the case.  Let’s discuss sex after menopause; fact versus fiction.

While both men and women think that menopause is synonymous with the loss of sexual desire, the fact of the matter is no, it definitely is not. In fact, most women will tell you the sex is better than ever. Perhaps because there are no preconceived worries about becoming pregnant, both men and women can pursue their passions with wild abandon.

Another fact is that while aging can slow down the process, it is considered normal if sexual desire decreases just a bit. This by no means indicates that sex is no longer an integral part of your life; far from it!  Read more...

Before going into the treatment options, here are some tips for managing the symptoms of a genital herpes infection:

* Urination can sometimes be painful, so drink plenty of liquids (preferably water) and it may be less painful to urinate in the bath.

* Apply an ice pack or bath in cool water.

* Take a mild pain reliever if needed.

* Keep the infected area clean and dry – lightly pat the area dry or even use a hairdryer.

* Wash bath towels and underwear frequently and wear loose clothing during outbreaks.

* Improve your immune system with a healthy lifestyle including a good diet with plenty of rest and try to lower the stress levels.  This can help to reduce the outbreaks.

Several decades ago, herpes treatment options for herpes included the direct application of deoxyglucose or the actual removal of infected areas by surgery. It was soon found that the former option was ineffective while the latter course often resulted in the spread of the herpes along the scar which was left after the surgery. This is not surprising considering how infectious the herpes virus is.  Read more...
