Will sexually transmitted disease affect on having kids?

Yes, some STDs can render you sterile and some can pass on to your unborn child.

I have moved your question to a thread of its own. It's not a good idea to piggyback a question as it causes confusion to the original poster and your question may go unanswered.

Now, in answer to your question. Some STDs can cause sterility, while others can hurt the developing fetus, yet others can hurt the baby during the delivery.

To give you a better answer I would need some clarification on your question. Is there one STD you are particularly concerned about?

My boyfriend has genetial warts

Then you can get genital warts. Condoms do not protect against this.

Women carry babies to term with this disease, however it is suggested that the women have C-Section deliveries rather than vaginal deliveries.

HMM am I at risk? Should I stay with him or what? I love him very much. He respects and does everything, he's a man I ever want in him.

I have been with him 4 months. Have regular pap smeras and blood tests, comes back normal. He always washes his hands to make sure I don't get it, or lessen it. He actually has genital warts in his anus, before we were together he had on his penis that was about 2 yearas ago

I can't tell you whether you should stay with him. That is a decision you will have to make.

However, I can tell you that washing his hands won't make a difference. The virus is not on his hands, it is on his genitals.

Does he take medication for it? If not, I suggest he sees his doctor for a prescription of Valtrex. Valtrex will not stop the virus from spreading though, but will lessen the outbreaks.

Regardless you are at risk of contracting this virus. There is no known cure and there is no way to know whether you will or will not get it.

Will he ever get rid of it? He had it for 2 n half years from an old girlfriend. He's been upset since then..

No, he will never get rid of it. There is no known cure for HPV. It is also known to increase your risk for cervical cancer.

What's the options of getting rid of it? There must be some ways!

Hun, as I stated, there is no way to get rid of it. There is no known cure.

Not even treatment? It makes me feel this way is of risking my life with him?

No, it is not life threatening in and to itself, but as stated, there is no way to prvent its spread, condoms do not help, there is not way to be cured of it.

And they are likely to spread, you can find them in or on many parts of the body.

Hmm. I don't know what I should do. Because if we not together and I catch it. I give it onto somebody else? I will get the blame

I had some sort of heavy bleeding and large clots... before that I didn't have my periods for 3 months. I went to the dr they did 3 blood tests along the way and they came back as 'equalvocal' wasn't sure if I was pregnant or not. When I had the bleeding/clots. They booked me for an ultrasound thinking that I had a miscarriage. But on the ultrasound was nothing. I didn't have to do anything about it afterwards? I'm confused? That was late decemeber 2007. This was before I was with my boyfriend who has STD

The virus HPV will always be there. The occurrence of the warts, however, may never come back. You can only contract the virus if there is an outbreak. HPV can be hidden for 2 years before you can get a positive test for it. HPV is the number one cause of Cervical cancer. This might affect your ability to carry a child full term. You can never get rid of the virus UNFORTUNATELY... but you can definitely control the outbreaks with meds.

You can definitely control the outbreaks with meds...

Which meds?

And what about this one... #15

Valtrex is the med of choice for HPV. However, it does not necessarily prevent the spread of the virus. You should not engage in intercourse while he has an outbreak.

The other one will be answered on that thread.

I believe she said it was genital warts. There are some medicated lotions that can be applied.

Okay... if he takes valtrex is it everyday use? What does valtrex do and how long for? What do we do when he has an outbreak? Can u do it easier words so ican understand better than frustrating u

Oh... sorry. I guess there is another question about herpes?

Genital warts and HPV are the same thing.

You can read all about it here

Yes, I know this... but I believe you went and edited what I originally quoted you on. You said valtrex treated HERPES, you didn't originally say it treated HPV, and she was not talking about Herpes. From the commercial I've seen of Valtrex, it just states that it treats Herpes. I don't THINK Herpes is a form of HPV, I believe it is a different virus. I specifically mentioned HPV as the virus known to cause warts in one of my previous postings.;)

The virus HPV will always be there. The occurence of the warts, however, may never come back. You can only contract the virus if there is an outbreak. HPV can be hidden for 2 years before you can get a positive test for it. HPV is the number one cause of Cervical cancer. This might affect your ability to carry a child full term. You can never get rid of the virus UNFORTUNATELY...but you can definately control the outbreaks with meds.

You are correct that I said this is to be treated with Valtrex and Valtrex is for Herpes, it's used for HSV not HPV. My bad, sorry, had the wrong med in my mind.

I apologize for my goof... here is the treatment for herpes


There is no HPV treatment or cure for the virus. There is also no cure for genital warts. However, genital warts can be treated, either at home or at a doctor's office.

The first course of action for many people with genital warts is topical medications. This type of treatment comes in either a gel or cream form and usually works by attacking and breaking down the wart tissue. Podophyllin is a particularly strong topical medication that needs to be applied at the doctor's office. However, this is an older type of treatment and is not as widely used nowadays.

For those looking for some genital warts home treatment, you can ask your doctor to prescribe either podofilox (Condylox) or imiquimod (Aldara). Both of these topical medications you can apply yourself at home. However, if you are pregnant, it is not recommended that you use either podophyllin or podofilox as both can be absorbed by your skin and possibly cause birth defects in your child. Additionally, Aldara is designed to be used only on external genital warts.

It is also important to note that there is a difference between genital warts and regular warts. The strains of HPV that cause genital warts are different from those strains that cause warts on other parts of your body. Moreover, genital warts appear on areas of your body that are much more sensitive. Therefore, you should never use regular, over-the-counter wart treatments for genital warts.

That's completely ok... i just wasn't sure if i goofed... have a great day! ;) ;) ;)

I have single and some multiple pinkish (same colour as vagina) lumps about a little less than an inch from the outside. It doesn't hurt at all. I just find it rather odd. Its like a lump than you can flick it to move. Do you know what it is? There are about 7 of them. Around outside the clits and inside near the uterus.

Outside its small lumps.

Time to get it checked out. Sounds like it could be either skin tags, or more possibly genital warts, since you have been exposed. Make an appointment as soon as possible.

BUt the thing is I had a pap smear and full blood test came back normal last week... I still odnt get it?

Talk to your doctor about your concerns. Show him/her the lumps. We can't diagnose over the internet. We can't physically see what you are talking about, we can only guess.

Please make another appointment with your doctor to discuss this.

What are skin tags? And what can be done? Is it bad?

No, skin tags are not bad, they can be removed. However, you need to have them properly diagnosed by your doctor.

I am in no way saying these are skin tags nor am I saying that it is genital warts. I cannot know via the internet.

I emplore you to please make an appointment with your doctor for proper diagnosis.

May I ask, if the geneital warts are in the anal but not on the penis or around the penis. Can have sex or still can't have sex using condoms? But not touching the anal?

My boyfriend only has geintal warts in his anus nothing on the front.

My fiancé, had the operation to remove his warts inside. I'm wondering if we can have sex cause we want kids... umm will it come back? The dr said its been removed..
