Okay I am going to assume you are a female, only because males can not get tested for HPV because there currently is no test for males to detect HPV.
There are over 100 different kinds of HPV. Most don’t cause any harm or health problems, only a handful do. I have read that 75-80% of the world has HPV and my doctor told me only about 20some% know they have it. About a dozen kinds of HPV have been linked to cause cancer such as cervical cancer, penile caner, head and neck cancer, and anal caner. There are a handful that can cause warts too. Genital warts, hand and feet warts are all caused by HPV.
It is possible for you to get a strain of the virus that is not connected to any health problems. Some of the strains people can actually get "rid" of, this isn’t very common, but it can happen. Have you ever considered getting the vaccine for it? The FDA approved a new vaccine for HPV that you can get from your doctor. It prevents getting four different strains of HPV. Two that can cause genital warts and two that can cause cervical cancer.
Make sure he gets the warts treated because just skin to skin contacted with his genital area can cause you to get HPV. Since he obviously has at least one strain that causes genital warts, it’s possible you can get this strain from him if you have unprotected sex with him. HPV is really not as uncommon as most people think. And, as long as you are getting your yearly pap (more if you have had an abnormal pap) you should be okay! And I know a few people who have HPV and have had perfectly healthy babies.
I have had HPV for over 5 years. I got cervical cancer from it when I was 17 years old and I got genital warts from it about 7 months ago. I have not had a baby but I plan to within the next few years or so with my fiance. I hope this helped! Good luck!
YA CAN WATCH FOR THRUSH!IF YA’LL HAVE ONE
Talk to a Doctor first please. Pregancy is hard enough with no problems.
Having genital warts causes no problem with fertility. I would suggest that your partner have genital warts treated before you start trying to have a baby, to reduce or eliminate the chances of you getting infected.
Condom usage does not protect against genital warts. There is very effective treatment for genital warts in men – a cream called "Aldara" – that will eliminate the warts in the man. It is best for you not to have intercourse while he is still untreated.
yes but watch it doesn’t turn into a toad
yes, but be aware you could have the "disease" w/o symptoms & during pregnancy worts may appear
Depending on what type of HPV strain you are infected with, you may or may not experience any HPV symptoms. Those infected with what is known as "low risk" HPV will likely just have one HPV symptom: genital warts. These can develop anywhere from a few weeks to a few months after exposure to the virus. Genital warts look like miniature cauliflower florets, which are usually flesh-colored, soft and moist. They can develop on the vulva, cervix and in or around the vagina. HPV in men who have a strain that causes genital warts may develop the warts on the scrotum or penis. Both sexes may also develop genital warts symptoms in or around the anus and occasionally on the thighs, buttocks or throat. However, it is possible to have an HPV infection without any genital warts symptoms.
Women who have genital warts during pregnancy may notice that their warts grow quicker and larger during their pregnancy. Having an outbreak during your pregnancy, and especially when you deliver, can cause problems. It is possible to pass the warts on to your child during a vaginal birth, which then develops in the throat (known as laryngeal papillomatosis). This can be life threatening to your child.
yes but u would have to get frutility (don’t know if i spelled that right) treats ment and i would also get a c sectoin so if would have it the baby would have a smaller chance of getting it durning birth
but thats just what i would do i mean i wouldn’t want my baby being infected sorry if i misspelled anything i was in a rush
EVENTUALLY YOU WILL GET HPV AS FAR AS THE BABY I BELIEVE IT IS 50/50
You can have a baby, but there will be a strong likelihood that his genital warts will be transmitted to you. If you do develop genital warts, please advise your doctor of the chances, because this will determine if you would have a vaginal birth, or a c-section.
Consult with your doctor, prior to making any decisions. Is this child worth the warts?
Research and Educate yourself…
YES YOU CAN STILL HAVE A BABY BUT YOU MIGHT WANNA LET HER DOCTOR KNOW SHE HAS HPV. YOU SHOULD ASK HER DOCTOR IF SHE COULD HAVE A C-SECTION THAT WAY THEIRS NO DANGER TO THE BABY, I KNOW IT’S RARE BUT SOMETIMES THE MOTHER CAN PASS ON THE WARTS TO THE BABY IF ITS BORN VAGINALLY.
