A genital wart is an embarrassing condition that affects the skin and mucous membranes of the genital area. Human papillomavirus (HPV) strains can also cause genital warts, which can increase a person's risk of developing some cancers as well. The effects of genital warts on a person's self-esteem and emotional well-being can also be devastating.
While there is no cure for HPV or genital warts, there are treatments that can reduce or remove the warts and prevent them from spreading. There are, however, many barriers to accessing these treatments, such as high costs, long waiting times, a lack of privacy, and stigmatization. That's where direct primary care (DPC) can help.
In a DPC model, patients can have direct relationships with their primary care providers without the involvement of insurance companies or other third parties. Without additional charges at the time of service, patients pay a monthly or annual fee to access a range of primary care services, including consultations, exams, care coordination, and some lab services. As we will discuss below, DPC can provide patients with genital warts with several benefits.
In spite of the fact that genital warts are a common and treatable condition, many people face challenges and barriers that make it difficult for them to access the care they need and deserve. A DPC solution can help patients with genital warts receive affordable, accessible, and quality care, and improve their quality of life.
A great physician treats the patient who has the disease, not the disease itself, as the famous physician William Osler once said. A DPC model allows doctors to treat patients as individuals, rather than as a collection of symptoms.
