Genital

Wart Treatment

Genital warts are a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). They typically develop as small, skin-colored or pink bumps or clusters on the genital area, including the penis, vulva, vagina, or anus. They are highly contagious, can sometimes cause symptoms, and commonly require treatment to clear them and prevent spreading or complications.

Genital warts are caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is highly contagious and can be transmitted even if there are no skin lesions present. Risk factors for developing genital warts include unprotected sexual activity, multiple sexual partners, and immunosuppression or a weakened immune system.

Treatment options include prescription topical medications (e.g. imiquimod, podofilox) which are applied at home on a specific regimen to target and destroy the HPV infected cells with either direct destruction or stimulation of the immune system to target the cells. Procedures such as cryotherapy (freezing the warts) or electrocautery (burning the warts) can be useful in treatment. Surgical removal is rarely needed. These procedures are performed in a healthcare professional's office.

After treatment, it is important to have regular appointments with your healthcare provider as well as performing self-monitoring to ensure the warts remain clear and that no long-term issues from HPV infection arise. It is also important to notify sexual partners about the presence of genital warts so they can seek appropriate testing and treatment.

Preventative measures include safe sex practices such as routine, correct use of condoms, limiting the number of sexual partners, and getting vaccinated with the HPV vaccine, which is available and approved for all individuals between the ages of 9 and 45.
