I had to experience a removal of anal warts, at first I was afraid and scared my doctor went over all of my concerns and ensured me it was going to be alright and painless. He was right I was awake for this procedure they used a different approach for my form of anal warts, If I remembered they freeze dried them off. I felt fine later on that day. Next day I was back to normal daily activities.

Well I just had some removed off my vjj last summer. Went to my annual gyn physical and my doc found them and those 3 shots! Ouch! Long story short biopsy showed that they were precancerous then referred me to a specialist who performed another biopsy and another 3 shots! So now 6 shots later in my private genital and then came surgery. Successful surgery but I spent my entire summer not being able to go into any water. Only cist baths but that smell was foul cleaning that wound. Ooh! So now I'm fine and glad that I take care of myself by doing my yearly physicals with all my necessary physicians. For the record my vjj isn't smelly ijs😅

Whew! The year before last, I had my annual Ob-gyn appointment where my physician did a biopsy and found precancerous warts. Those 3 shots in my genitals made the shot in my hip a walk in the park! So he referred me to a specialist in Hartford who then performed another biopsy and gave me 3 shots too! So I was totally done with the shots in my vjj! So last June I had same day surgery and it took the entire summer to heal This past summer my hip and my knees prevented me for taking my grandbabies to the beach. So I'm looking forward to taking my granddaughter who will be 2 when summer comes and my grandson will be 6 . We will have some fun. So it's vitally important to get your pap smears ladies and those prostates checked out gentlemen. I'm so glad that I make it a priority to go to All my physicals with each of my physicians.
You must take care of you❤
