I've been dealing with genital warts for a while now and my doctor prescribed Podofilox 0.5% Gel. I've read the basics—it stops wart cell growth and makes them shrink—but I'd love to hear from anyone who's used it. How long did it take to see results? What side effects did you experience? Any tips for application or anything else I should know? Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!

I recently got the Gardasil 9 vaccination and I've been curious about others' experiences. I've heard that it helps protect against various types of HPV, but I've also been worried about the potential side effects. I experienced some joint pain and a mild fever after the injection, but I wanted to ask if anyone else has had similar experiences or other side effects? I noticed some of the more severe side effects listed, but hopefully, those are rare. Has anyone had to deal with those? Any tips on how to manage the side effects would be awesome!

I'm considering the Gardasil 9 vaccine for my daughter. I've heard a lot of positive things about it, but I'm also seeing some worrying side effects listed. Has anyone here had experience with this vaccine? I'd love to hear about it. I am concerned about any potential long-term issues. Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. I know this vaccine can help protect against HPV-related cancers and genital warts, but I want to make sure it's safe for her.
