Treatment Could Make Removal Less Painful And Less Invasive.(immune-stimulating treatment for anal warts)
2001 JUN 28 - (NewsRx Network) -- A new study reported by GayHealth.com's medical director, Stephen Goldstone, MD, FACS, has identified a promising new immune-stimulating treatment for anal warts.
The study was presented June 6, 2001, at the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons Meeting in San Diego, California.
Between one million and four million men and women in the United States have visible anogenital warts, and over half of all gay men carry the human papillomavirus (HPV), the virus that causes genital warts, in their anal canals. HPV is a common sexually transmitted disease that can lead to cervical and anal cancer. Treatment for anal warts often requires painful surgery or repeated visits to the doctor, and the warts recur in up to 50% of treated patients. The new treatment, however, eradicates or shrinks the warts, thereby making anal wart removal, if necessary, a much less painful and invasive procedure.
