Do you have any idea what is genital wart? Well, genital wart is also known as venereal wart. It is a highly contagious sexually transmitted disease, that is found in both sexes. Genital wart normally transmitted through skin to skin contact during oral, genital or anal sex with an affected partner.

Genital warts can be treated at home, however its methods are not always encouraged by medical practitioners. This is because, the tissues around the affected genital area are so sensitive in nature. Some methods of genital warts treatment require very common substances, such as vitamin E oil, salt, onion, garlic, milky juice of fig stems, apple cider vinegar, aloe vera, and many more.

Some treatments may include eating diets that are rich in folic acid and beta carotene. Vegetables like radish, squash, tomato, mango, spinach and cabbage are very rich in folic acid and beta carotene. If you want to get rid of the disease, you need to avoid cigarettes and caffeine.

Medical science says that viral particles that penetrate the skin and mucosal surfaces through microscopic abrasion between genital surfaces during sexual contact as the main cause of having genital warts. Once the cells are invaded by HPV, it may take months or even years to appear the first symptom. Modern scientific treatments to cure genital warts aim at professional approach of applying topical immune response creams, anti-mitotic solutions, electric or laser cauterization (burning) and liquid nitrogen cryosurgery (freezing). These treatments can remove the symptoms, but are not that effective in removing the HPV virus. Thus, there are chances to reoccur the disease.

According to traditional theories, the virus remains in the body of the affected person for a lifetime. But, new studies using sensitive DNA techniques have shown that through immunological response, the virus can either be cleared or suppressed to certain extend.
