Genital Warts

In the EU, the second most frequent sexually transmitted disease (STD) is genital warts, following chlamydia.

Although they don't present a health risk, many people are eager to remove genital warts because they are visible and can be embarrassing. Unlike other sexually transmitted infections, genital warts do not threaten a person's health or fertility.

Our experienced doctors can provide confidential and personal consultation in the comfort of your own home to help you address and manage genital warts quickly.

The following areas of the body can develop genital warts:

• Areas of the genitalia, such as the penis, scrotum, vulva, and cervix
  
  
• The vagina, urethra
  
  
• The area around the anus is also possible.

Warts found in the urethra or anus can cause a blockage, leading to pain and bleeding.

A genital wart occurs when the human papillomavirus (HPV) infects the genital area (genital wart). They can be spread through unprotected genital contact, such as skin-to-skin contact, even without penetration.

Condoms are a great way to reduce the risk of contracting most sexually transmitted infections. However, they may not protect against genital warts. This is because HPV can affect areas of the genital area that a condom does not cover.

Even if a person infected with HPV does not have visible warts, they can still transmit the virus to another person. Warts may not appear for months or years after infection, and a person can still pass the virus on before or after they show up.

It's essential to consult a doctor before deciding which treatment is best for you. This will be based on the number and location of the warts. Treatment options include:

• Liquids
  
  
• Creams
  
  
• Cryotherapy

If you're using a cream or liquid to treat a wart, please note that these products may only be effective on warts in other areas of your body. A different virus causes these warts, so it's important to seek doctors' advice for a prescription or specialist referral for the most suitable treatment.

You must refrain from engaging in sexual contact while undergoing treatment for genital warts, as this can spread the virus to others and make your recovery more challenging.

If you have been infected with HPV, you may experience an outbreak of genital warts. Fortunately, the warts can usually be treated with medications. If the warts reappear after treatment, it is advisable to visit a doctor, as a different form of treatment may be necessary.
