Gardasil, also called recombinant human Papillomavirus vaccine [E6, 11, 16, 20, 22, 26, 28], is an important vaccine for the prevention of specific strains of the human papillomaviruses. Genital warts, anal warts, cervical cancer, vaginal warts, and head lice are some of the sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) that can be prevented through the use of Gardasil. In fact, cervical cancer is the main cause of death from cervical cancer and the number of deaths due to genital warts and cervical cancer have decreased dramatically.
High-risk human papillomas virus genital herpes infection is the commonest sexually transmitted disease among women worldwide
It has an estimated one million cases per year, with an estimated one million people contracting genital herpes every year in the United States alone. Most people who contract genital herpes are unaware that they may be at risk for developing genital warts or cervical cancer, but those at risk for developing these conditions should inform their medical provider about any recent sexual activity, whether it involved one partner or multiple partners, or any current sexual history involving multiple sex partners, including oral, vaginal, or anal sex.
Gardasil prevents transmission of HPV to partners through vaginal, anal, or oral sex. The vaccine contains an element within its DNA, which prevents the body's immune system from recognizing and defeating the infection. Women and men of all ages are at risk for contracting genital warts through having anal, vaginal, or oral sex with an infected person.
In addition to preventing the transmission of HPV, Gardasil helps to keep genital warts from forming. It stops the growth of warts on the cervix and vagina in females by stopping the production of the human papillomavirus receptor-binding protein (HPV RNA). A second part of the vaccine stimulates the body's natural defense system to stop the formation of genital warts in males.
The majority of people who contract genital warts and genital herpes do not experience any symptoms
Most women who develop genital warts will go back to their doctor within six months and only experience occasional soreness or redness of the genital area or irritation of the vagina. Men who get genital warts often experience a burning sensation, itching or soreness, a white lump inside the penis, burning when urinating, burning and pain during intercourse or ejaculation, or bleeding between periods.
When used properly, Gardasil is an excellent way to prevent the transmission of genital warts and genital herpes. Some men may experience an outbreak of genital herpes before a woman has an outbreak of genital warts, but even after an outbreak of genital warts, the body's natural defenses may be able to fight off the outbreak. For this reason, the virus often takes several months to clear up. Also, many women develop no symptoms after they receive the vaccine.
Many women develop a more severe form of genital herpes, called genital herpes, while the immune system has been weakened by HPV infection, as they age. In this case, the woman develops a more serious case of the disease and can develop painful sores and blisters. The Gardasil vaccine can also help to fight off the symptoms of genital herpes.
Unfortunately, there are no cures for genital warts or herpes, but there are over the counter remedies available, such as tablets and creams and other topical solutions. However, there is no known cure for genital warts and herpes, so men, women, and children with this condition should always use caution. If you or someone you love is experiencing genital warts or genital herpes, it is important to consult with your physician. Your doctor can help you decide which treatment option will work best.
