Tiny stalks in and out of vagina

Resolved question:

Dear doctor, I have got millions of small stalks spread all over my inner and outer portion of the vagina. They have also spread around the anal region as well. They are in clusters. They pain a lot during urination or any other urination. They resemble the pictures of genital warts. Am I infected with it? They pain tremendously during passing urine or stool. It has also become difficult now to walk. Please suggest some remedy.

Thanks for your question. It seems from the pictures of genital warts that you send, that you have got infected with highly contagious infection called genital warts. It is mainly caused by HPV, human pappiloma virus. It is transferred by direct skin to skin contact with the infected person. The medium can be oral, anal or vaginal sex. There is even a risk of cervical cancer in this kind of infection. A vaccine called gardasil which can protect the body against the infection of the human pappiloma virus. Podofilox is a cheap and effective medical ointment which can be used to cure it.  When comes to permanent treatment, cryosurgery can be done to do away with the infection. It is advised not to indulge in sex with you partner as it can worsen the situation. The infection can get transferred to your partner as well. It is advised to be stable psychologically and stable mentally, because the infection has got more impact on the mental stature of the person. The patient is advised to take the medicines regularly and have sex with protection. Latex condoms are advised to be used as protective measure. It is recommended to wear light and loose undergarments during the whole recovery process. Also proper diet shall be taken to gear up the healing process. Good Luck.
