About living with genital warts, advice?
For the last 2 months Ive been battling BV(commom vaginal infection) and a couple suspect genital wart growths. I got an STD panel at the health department, I have no other STD"S, they did not diagnose the warts, cuz they were too small at the time. Have not had sex since then. Was not sure what these little things were, or (was it just my imagination)
Some part of me has been in denial about this, up until I spotted a 3rd one growing on my groin(gets bigger everyday) now I know, for sure that I have it. Im going to get them burned off.
The infection part, (with the help of herbs and vitamins) has gotten waayy better, I almost feel back to normal down there. What I want to know is, how do I live with this??? How can I live with constant discharge, (I have to change my underwear twice a day) itching, swelling, this constant infection. I take MASSIVE amounts of supplements everyday, and eat yogurt like its goin out of style. Am i gonna have to pop pills for the rest of my life just to function?? I had no idea, having genital warts meant it would LITERALLY ruin your sex life, cuz I have a strange odor too, not to mention its uncomfortable down there, always. Its not an STD, I guess, genital warts not only come with growths, but a massive and smelly, horrible vaginal infection aswell?? This is awful. I never want to have sex again, and I dont think I can, its just WRONG, down there??
Are they related?? Anyone living with genital warts, let me know if a vaginal infection comes with this condition, or what?? Ive almost gotten rid of it, but I take so many pills and teas everyday, my God, Im afraid to stop, Id rather jump off a bridge than have this come back, and I cant have sex, its too uncomfortable and awful down there

Richard, Sorry you got caught up in staying up with the crown . I did that 30 years ago and have tried to quit several but to no avail. there is products in the drug store to calm the craving but next will power and wanting to very badly, I can't think of anything else. I wish I had never picked up that first smoke. Gooooooooo Richard. Good Luck Rita V

Or when you get a craving, try to channel your energy and focus away from cigarettes - try going for a walk, do some pushups, clean, etc. It might also help to print out some graphic pictures of the results of cancer (i.e. people with tracheotomies, tongues removed, lower jaw removed, etc) and put that in your wallet or somewhere you'll look when you think about smoking a cig.

You might see your doctor about one of those new drugs that is supposed to eliminate the cravings.
Make sure you have the support of your Friends and family.
