There are several different types of Genital warts treatment, and the type that is best for you will depend on the size, location, and number of warts that you have. If you have a small number of warts that are not causing any discomfort, your doctor may recommend a wait-and-see approach. However, if your warts are large or causing pain, your doctor may recommend one of the following Genital warts treatments:

Surgery: Surgery is typically reserved for larger warts that do not respond to other Genital warts treatment. During surgery, the doctor will remove the wart tissue using a scalpel or laser.

Topical medications:There are several Genital warts treatments that involve applying medication directly to the wart tissue. These Genital warts treatments include podofilox, imiquimod, and trichloroacetic acid. Your doctor will help you choose the Genital wart treatment that is best for you based on the size and location of your warts.

Interferon

A meta-analysis of 7 studies reported that local and systemically-used interferon had similar recurrence rates for genital warts. There was a trend toward decreased recurrence rates for local-use interferon compared to placebo. The five studies that used systemically-used interferon reported no significant difference in recurrence rates.

Another treatment is a patient-applied solution that is applied directly to the wart. It is not recommended for patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding. A prescription is required from a doctor. Patients should read the product label before starting a treatment. While this method is often the preferred treatment for warts, it has significant side effects. Patients should discuss any side effects with their provider and undergo follow-up visits. These visits are important for monitoring the treatment and answering questions about any side effects.

This therapy uses an injection of interferon alfa-n3, a naturally-occurring cytokine, as a form of medication that triggers the immune system. It is administered twice weekly, 3 times a week, for up to 16 weeks. However, interferon should not be given to pregnant women who are breastfeeding. The interferon is given directly into the wart, in a procedure called intramuscular infusion.

Cryocautery

There are many different methods of treating genital warts. A doctor can use cryocautery for this treatment, which freezes warts using liquid nitrogen. Laser treatments, which use an intense beam of light, are also available. Patients with the most difficult-to-treat warts will likely receive laser treatments. Another form of treatment is electrocautery, which uses an electrical current to burn the wart cells and close blood vessels. A local anesthetic is used for this procedure to ensure minimal pain. The procedure is usually performed in a doctor's office. Another method is surgical excision, which involves removing the wart under a local anesthetic.

Although many women who undergo cryotherapy for genital warts have a 100% success rate, there are still some complications associated with the procedure. The treatment can be harmful to the unborn child, and pregnant women should only undergo it if they are not using any other contraception. Additionally, cryocautery is not recommended for unprotected sexual intercourse, which may cause relapses.

Surgical excision

Surgical excision of genital wars is an option to remove the skin lesions caused by genital warts. It is a common procedure used to eliminate these unwanted growths. Although this method cannot completely cure the disease, it can suppress the immune system and prevent its spread. Another option is a topical treatment using an antiviral ointment, which is easy to apply at home.

During the procedure, the patient's health is carefully evaluated. The patient is given a preliminary diagnosis of subacute vulvitis, and the warts are then examined under a microscope. During the procedure, the warts are separated into two types: the squamous epithelium and the gonococci, which are small sticks that grow on the genital area.

Laser treatment

There are several advantages to using laser treatment for genital warts. The procedure is relatively quick and requires no blood or anesthetic. It is generally performed by an experienced medical professional who uses FDA-approved laser devices. It also results in less scarring than other treatment methods. However, it should only be used when other methods have failed. The treatment may not be safe, and it might even cause infection.

The process of laser treatment for genital warts is a relatively new treatment that has several advantages. Unlike other treatments, laser treatment does not require the use of a hypodermic needle. In order to perform the procedure, the area in which the warts are located is numbed with a local anesthetic cream. A laser is then directed onto the wart. It is very comfortable and results in fewer scarring.
