Genital warts are in the category of infections whose discovery in oneself tends to cause much alarm. It is true that in their first days, the genital warts might not be painful. But their very appearance is sure to shock the hell out anyone who has never come across anything of their sort, as they go around wondering what could be happening to their most treasured parts. It doesn t help that the genital warts are not like rashes on the hand (which you can show to other people around you and ask you for advice as to what could be afflicting you). On the contrary, genital warts tend to afflict parts of the body which even, as the owner of the body might be uncomfortable looking at (as we are told that some people are yet to form relationships with their most intimate body parts, and so actually fear what they have!). Matters are not made any better by the fact that information on genital warts tends to be so hard to find even on a general basis, were you to bring up the subject in a general manner in a conversation – because these are typically not the types of subjects discussed in polite society meetings anyway. In any case, you might not even identify what you happen to be afflicted of as genital warts in the first place.
So what are you to do when it finally dawns to you that you are confronted with a case of genital warts?

Well, the first thing would be not to panic. Panic is the default reaction we tend to have when confronted with awful problems, and it often does us more harm than good: as it has a tendency to interfere with our thinking patterns, putting our minds in the crisis mode even when what we are faced with is really not such an awful prospect. Now while it is true that the very sight of warts growing on your body could be cause for panic, by default, within your mind; but you need to reassure yourself that we are living in an age when the medical science has advanced enough to deal with problems like these, and that as long as the genital warts problem is well dealt with, it should really be no cause for alarm.
Panic done away with, the next step would be to start proactive action against your genital warts. While it is true that most cases of genital warts do go away on their own (as the body asserts control over the virus causing the warts), it would still be advisable not to take chances and therefore the best advice is for you to head to your doctors clinic, take courage (the doctor has probably seen and heard worse things), and explain your case to him or her. Your doctor will then proceed to give you medication that can help with the genital warts (because although a cure for the condition is not available, there are plenty of quite effective treatments). If your case of genital warts is really bad enough, the doctor might recommend one or another procedure (for instance getting rid of them surgically, or freezing them dead)…but whatever the case, it is really nothing to panic about, as it can be handled quite conclusively in this day and age.
It would be in your best interests, though, to maintain high standards of hygiene even as you seek treatment for your genital warts, while also avoiding unprotected sexual contact until you get the condition treated (lest you spread it to loved ones, who may then hate you forever for it).
