Laura Vennema has had two heart transplants and keeps fit with yoga. But her anti-rejection drugs make her more susceptible to Human Papilloma Virus and genital warts
Even when they tried to treat them, it won't go away because my immune system's low.
An estimated 20-million Americans are infected with the virus, most with no symptoms. While there's no cure, the infection usually clears up by itself.
It has to do with your immune status, immune system. Most of us can fight it off like a cold, but a few, small percentage of us will have problems with warts.
Doctors can remove the warts with surgery, topical creams, freezing, burning, or lasers.
You want to reduce the amount of virus particles in your body. So by removing these warts, hopefully your own immune system can kick in.
Doctor Im also uses this ultrasonic surgical aspirator.
I would hold it like a pencil. I would go directly to the area where the warts are. Then I would press on the foot pedal and it would vibrate getting the tissue to begin to fragment into small pieces.
The device then works like a vacuum cleaner to suction the warts into this container. For most women, around two treatments are all they need, but not Laura.
Because of my low immune system, they keep coming back every year so I get treated.
…but that doesn't bother her. Doctor I'm says ultrasonic offers the least pain, scarring and recovery time of any of the options. For WebMD, I'm Sandee Lamotte.
