The Fine Points of Homeopathy and HPV

If a woman complains of symptoms such as profuse and irritating vaginal discharge, itchiness and “bumps” on her labia, pain during intercourse or even bleeding after the sex, then perhaps she contracted the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), also known as “Genital warts”.

This double-stranded virus has more than 40 known serotypes, and the visible genital warts are often caused by 6 and 11 serotypes, and 16 and 18 serotypes is associated the highest mortality from cervical cancer.

Screening and diagnosis such as physical examination of the vulva, vagina, cervix, perineum and anus is very essential to determine if lesions are present or seen in one of the areas which could be affected by the virus. Papanicolaou smears or known in layman’s term as Pap smear is also needed to detect any cancer cells since this sexually-transmitted infection can also lead to cervical cancer.

Currently, there is no known treatment to eliminate HPV. For this reason, treatment for genital warts is frequently difficult. Removal of warts is commonly done to relieve the discomforts.

Some remedies can be done at home to relieve these discomforts such as washing the affected area with an oatmeal solution and drying the area with cool hair dryer. Keeping the area clean and dry most of the time will minimize the growth of warts. Irritations and frictions can also cause discomfort thus wearing cotton underwear and loose-fitting clothes are advisable.

Homeopathy is thought to cure human papillomavirus. But what is homeopathy really? Homeopathy, derived from two Greek words that mean "like disease”, was founded by German physician Samuel Hahnemann (1755–1843).

Homeopathic remedies are believed to stimulate the body's own healing processes. Homeopathy is a method of medicine which has a different system to treat the disease from that of conventional or Allopathic medicine.

Our body’s immune system fights and defeats the human papillomavirus before it can dwell on the skin or in the mucous membranes to cause genital warts. However, there are instances like stress or sickness that can lower our immune system thus the virus will become active and powerful and can successfully develop warts or lesions on the reproductive tracts or in the anus region.

So then the goal of Homoeopathy is to attempt to stimulate our body's own natural healing power, therefore, activating the body's own healing forces. So Homoeopathy will try to rouse the body's own natural healing capacity to cure the symptom.

Most people opted for this kind of treatment because Homeopathic HPV cures are safe and almost have no side effects compared to conventional medicines.

You have to remember that Homeopathy does not cure the infection, but only boosts our body’s immune system which is responsible for fighting the virus. Homeopathy is intended to give long-lasting relief for people infected with human papillomavirus.
