HPV Symptoms. So have I got it?

There are over 100 strains of the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and thirty of these can lead to other such problems if some has contracted it such as cervical cancer and genital warts.  Each year, more and more people are contracting a form of this virus and it is becoming a growing concern the world over.  However, not all cases of HPV have symptoms associated to them and in fact the HPV symptoms only will surface if another problem is present.

With respect to the HPV symptoms especially those associated with genital warts can vary.  However, if you find your self suffering from irritation caused by bumps or lesions in the genital area, then it is quite possible that you have genital warts.  However, it is best if you contact and arrange an appointment with your doctor or gynecologist so that they give the correct diagnosis.

However once it has been confirmed that you have in fact contracted genital warts it is time to consider what treatment options are available to you.  The best way of treating any form of genital warts is actually dependent on the patients attitude.  They can either be frozen, treated with chemicals, burnt off or surgically removed, but the choice is solely up to the patient and what they would feel most comfortable having performed on them.  Any person who contracts genital warts should also remember that they may have had them removed, they can lie dormant within their bodies and resurface at any time, but this does not always happen, in fact in some cases they have never returned.

The HPV symptoms which will surface if some is diagnosed with either cervical (the presence of abnormal cells) or any other form of cancer relating to the reproductive organs in the body will include vaginal bleeding, smelly discharge and a feeling of discomfort during sexual intercourse.   If you experience any of these symptoms then arrange to visit your doctor as soon as possible. 

However, one of the best ways of preventing a person contracting HPV is to be in a monogamous relationship, or if not then use condoms at all times.  Arrange regular pap (smear) tests.  But unfortunately for you men there is no way of screening you to see if you have got HPV.

Gardasil Vaccine for HPV-Related Cancer Full of Dangers

School supplies and new outfits are on parents’ minds at this time of year, but they should be aware of a new danger – the aggressive promotion of the potent vaccine Gardasil, which has been linked to the deaths of up to 39 women and a host of other problems.

Produced by Merck & Co., Gardasil is a vaccine designed to prevent human papilloma virus (HPV), a common sexually transmitted infection which can cause cervical cancer. Advertised as a “vaccine against cancer,”  Merck has poured millions of dollars into a promotion campaign that has reached to the level of school and city health officials.

But an independent study by the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) compared Gardasil with Manactra, an anti-meningitis drug that is also given to children. The report said, “compared to Menactra, receipt of Gardasil is associated with at least twice as many emergency room visit reports; four times more death reports; five times more ‘did not recover’ reports; and seven times more ‘disabled’ reports.”

“Catalog of Horrors”

Approved by the FDA in 2006 for girls and women age 9 through 26, Gardasil is the focus of some 6,700 unsettling cases reported by the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), an agency of the department of Health and Human Services. Many of the cases seem to indicate a possible cause and effect relationship between the drug and its many problems. It is estimated that only one in ten adverse effects of such drugs are reported.

"The FDA adverse event reports on the HPV vaccine read like a catalog of horrors,” said Tom Fitten, president of Judicial Watch, a non-partisan watchdog group that says that there has not been a chance to study long-term side effects of the vaccine.

School and public health officials have been pushing the vaccine for girls in the weeks before school begins, and some states have considered mandatory vaccinations.

Many Side Effects

The FDA package insert for the drug lists these possible side effects: headache, fever, nausea, dizziness, local injection site reactions such as pain, swelling of the skin, itching, and bruising, seizure-like activity, and anaphylaxis, which is an allergic reaction.
