Hpv battle

Hi all,
First post here, looking for advice and support.
I've been struggling with HPV symptoms for over 3 years now.
I'm treating my genital warts with condyline solution which works for the most part.
I am still constantly having to get rid of warts on a monthly basis which is frustrating.
Everything I've read says that hpv will go in about 2 years but obviously not for me.
It's getting upsetting now ad I can't seem to shake it.
On top of the visual symptoms I'm getting an uncomfortable/tingling/pins feeling in my crotch which I've had for some time.
I'm almost certain that this feeling is linked to my hpv and it comes and goes and is more apparent when I have flare up.
I'm taking all the supplements to fight it, ahcc, vitamins etc.
I've also had all the other tests so know it's no other sti.
I've been with the same partner for 3 years now who shows no symptoms and is hpv clear.
Is anyone else experiencing this and how are you managing it?
Any help is appreciated.

Re: Hpv battle

Managing persistent HPV symptoms can indeed be challenging and frustrating. It's important to continue working closely with your healthcare provider for appropriate treatment and management. Here are a few considerations:

Medical Review: Since your HPV symptoms have persisted for over 3 years, a thorough medical review by a specialist, such as a dermatologist or a urologist/gynecologist, might be necessary. They can assess whether an alternative treatment approach is needed.

Symptom Management: The tingling and discomfort you're experiencing could be related to HPV or could be a separate issue. Mention these specific symptoms to your doctor for targeted treatment.

Immune Support: Continue with a healthy lifestyle to support your immune system, as it plays a crucial role in fighting HPV. This includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and stress management.

Partner Communication: It's good that you and your partner are in communication about this. Even if your partner is symptom-free, they can still be a carrier of the virus. Ongoing dialogue and potentially involving your partner in medical discussions can be helpful.

Emotional Support: The psychological impact of dealing with a chronic condition like HPV should not be underestimated. Consider seeking support from a counselor or a support group for individuals dealing with HPV.

Remember, each individual's response to HPV can vary, and what works for one person may not work for another. It's important to keep a proactive approach and continue seeking medical advice tailored to your specific situation.
