3 Common Questions About Genital Warts
Out of the over 100 human papilloma virus types, some are transmitted through sexual contact and infect the genital region. These are known as genital HPV's.
HPV's are divided into two types - low-risk and high-risk. Studies revealed that some 5-year-old children were infected with HPV but not through sexual contact. Genital human papilloma virus is transmitted by direct contact with an infected person. Genital warts are highly contagious and approximately 80% of individuals with more than one sex partner are likely to get the virus at some time in their lives.
HPV can still be transferred in exposed genital areas not covered by condoms. The human body reacts to HPV infection in various ways. Infected people with strong immune systems manage to eliminate the virus without knowing it. A small percentage of individuals who contract HPV Types 6 and 11 will get genital warts. Genital warts will usually be found in the genital and anal areas. 3. Can Genital Warts be Treated?
Genital warts are easily treatable especially when detected in its early stage.

5 Tips to Protect Against HPV and Genital Warts

Genital warts, also known as condyloma acuminata, have become a worldwide problem.
1. Visit your Doctor
If you are infected, your doctor will prescribe the most suitable treatment for you after assessing your medical and sexual background and the size and location of your warts infection. If the test results show that you are HPV-free, it doesn't mean your genital warts problem stops there; you should work on how to prevent it from spreading.
2. Genital Warts are Not True STD's
You may catch genital warts not only through vaginal and anal sex but also through direct skin-to-skin contact.
3. Are Condoms Reliable?
4. Practice Safer Sex
Dr. Berman is assistant Ob-Gyn professor at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University.

Ovarian Cancer: Build a Winning Treatment Team

By Steven Vasilev MD

If there is a diagnosis or strong suspicion of ovarian cancer, immediately go find a board certified gynecologic oncologist. A board eligible oncologist who has completed fellowship training is an option as well. Do not let anyone, including friends, family physicians, general gynecologists, surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, or any other doctor convince you that their team is just as good in the absence of a gynecologic oncologist. You absolutely, positively need a gynecologic oncologist as part of your team!! You can find help and a list of gynecologic oncologists in your area at www.sgo.org (Society of Gynecologic Oncologists) or www.wcn.org (Womens Cancer Network). Your gynecologic oncologist may or may not work closely with a medical oncologist instead of administering chemotherapy his/her-self. A medical oncologist is a doctor who specializes in giving chemotherapy to patients with all different types of cancer, gynecologic or not. Most do not see as many patients with ovarian cancer as a gynecologic oncologist, but can be very important members of a team approach in treating your cancer. In centers or medical groups where treatment is regularly delivered by a multi-disciplinary team, medical oncologists play a critical role in administering the chemotherapy, working in conjunction with a gynecologic oncologist.
Primary Care Doctor - Your Primary Care Doctor is hopefully the one you already know and trust for your basic medical care. Usually, this doctor is a Family Practitioner by training, but may be an Internal Medicine doctor or a Gynecologist. Surgical Oncologist - Surgical oncologists are surgeons who spend extra years training to surgically take care of cancer patients. Nurse Practitioner - Nurse-practitioners are nurses who have gone beyond the basic RN degree and received extra training in healthcare.
family support
Alternative or Complementary Practitioners - Many centers have integrative medicine programs, or have at least some practitioners who represent alternative and complementary approaches to cancer care. Are you fellowship trained and board certified or board eligible?
