Genital warts, a widespread sexually transmitted infection, are primarily caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). These benign but bothersome growths can appear on the genitalia, including the vagina, penis, and anus, as well as surrounding areas.

 

Causes and Prevalence

Most commonly linked to HPV types 6 and 11, genital warts represent a significant health concern, affecting an estimated two-thirds of sexually active individuals at some point in their lives. It is essential to recognise genital warts as a common health issue, which allows for their management and treatment to be approached with confidence and sensitivity, emphasising the need for professional and private care, especially in sensitive areas.

Our clinic offers treatment methods to suit different types and severities of genital warts, including:

 

Curettage & Cautery (Surgical & Electrocautery Laser)

For genital warts that haven’t responded to other treatments, curettage & cautery can be an effective solution. This surgical technique uses a curette, a sharp, spoon-shaped instrument, to scrape off the wart tissue. Cautery is then used to stop bleeding and remove any remaining wart tissue. Performed under local anaesthesia, the curette is used to carefully remove the warts from the skin. Following this, an electrical current (cautery) is applied to the area to seal blood vessels and destroy any remaining wart tissue. This method offers a complete removal of the wart tissue. It’s particularly useful for larger warts or clusters that are difficult to treat with other methods. While it may require a healing period, it provides a definitive solution for persistent warts.

 

This advanced treatment uses a highly concentrated beam of light (laser) to precisely target and eliminate genital warts. It’s particularly recommended for warts that are stubborn or have spread extensively.  Under local anaesthesia, the laser is directed at the warts, instantly vaporizing the wart tissue without damaging the surrounding skin. This precision ensures minimal scarring and optimal healing conditions. Electrocautery laser removal is favoured for its accuracy and effectiveness, especially in cases where warts are resistant to other treatments. The precision of the laser minimises scarring, making it an excellent option for sensitive areas.

 

Cryotherapy (Freeze)

Cryotherapy is a non-invasive treatment that applies liquid nitrogen directly to the warts, freezing them. This method is quick and safe, suitable for both small and larger warts, and can be precisely targeted to avoid damage to surrounding healthy tissue. During the procedure, our doctors provider applies liquid nitrogen using a spray or a cotton swab, causing the warts to freeze and eventually fall off.  Cryotherapy is effective because the freezing process destroys the wart tissue, that causes the warts, reducing the chance of recurrence.

 

Customised Treatment Plans

Recognising that every case is unique, we offer tailored treatment plans that may combine different therapies to achieve the best results. Our clinicians will discuss the most suitable options based on your specific condition.

City Dermatology Clinic excels in providing a same-day ‘see and treat’ service for genital wart removal, setting us apart from other clinics. This approach eliminates the need for multiple visits, offering a quick and efficient solution.

  • Clusters – warts can be solitary or form larger clusters.

  • Change in Texture – the affected area might feel rough.

 

Prevention of Genital Warts

  • Use Condoms – lower the risk of HPV transmission.
