Genital Warts on the Rise in Elderly American Women

Now, genital warts treatment is something that you may associate with the younger generation. However, experts in America have reported that the amount of elderly women who have contracted the STD has risen sharply in recent years. The same thing is true here in the UK, with older couples becoming more likely to contract the common STDs. So, the question is – why is this happening?

In fact, this is nothing new. A friend of mine who works in a clinic told me that for the last 10 years, more and more elderly people are coming in to ask about information for genital warts treatment. The friend of mine even suggested that the rise in these numbers is directly linked to the rise in the amount of men taking erectile dysfunction treatments.

Is there something in this? Well, I suppose it all makes sense. The invention and approval of certain prescription medication has meant that elderly men are more likely to remain sexually active in their old age. Add the fact that many elderly women are unable to become pregnant and it could explain why many elderly couples are not using protection and, as a result, passing on the HPV virus to each other. Although this is something that elderly people need to become more aware about, the good news is that genital warts treatment can help anybody of any age to control the infection and find relief from the symptoms.
