How to Remove Warts on the Genitals
Even though you may have fairly small warts, they can still be annoying and unsightly. When home remedies fail, you will most likely need to see a doctor in order to gain access to prescription medications and surgical options. As may be expected, you should give some thought to each treatment type before you decide on any given method. This will save you time and money, even if the warts happen to come back at a later date.
Drug Injections and Creams
As you may be aware, there are antiviral medications that can be taken orally. Unfortunately, these drugs do not work on the HPV family of viruses. Therefore, when it comes to treating warts, most non-surgical methods revolve around injectable medications and creams. No matter whether you choose a medication that is used as a chemotherapy agent, or one that is used to boost the immune system, they will only get rid of the wart injected. Since you will not be fully cleared of the HPV virus, warts may come back in different places later on, or even at the same site.
Surgical Options
Overall, you will find that surgical options for warts are similar to those used for ones found on other parts of the body. Depending on the size, the doctor may elect to perform a conventional excision. You may also be interested in cryotherapy, or freezing, as well as laser destruction of the wart. As with using injections and creams, there is no guarantee that a new wart will not grow to replace the one that was removed.
There is no question that visiting a doctor and talking about warts will be something that you need to prepare for. On the other hand, if you were not able to make use of home remedies, there is no point to putting up with warts that cause discomfort. While doctors cannot cure warts, at least they can remove them. No matter whether you have to go through this process only once, or dozens of times, at least you will be able to enjoy short reprieves from your condition. Needless to say, if the warts do not come back after an initial treatment, you can look forward to living a fairly normal life. As long as you remember that the infection is never really gone, you will be able to manage the intimate aspects of your relationships a bit more easily.
