Your Private GP and Sexual Health Clinic in Canary Wharf

Genital warts are easily passed on through genital contact

Dr Wayne Cottrell:

  • Usually caused by low risk HPV strains 6 and 11
  • Highly infectious and spreads through genital-genital or oral-genital contact
  • Lesions are unsightly and infectious but rarely cause other issues

SYMPTOMS

  • Painless, flesh coloured growths, in the genital areas
  • Single lesions or clusters
  • Can be flat or raised
  • Itching

Testing and Treatment

  • Usually diagnosed by visual inspection, although we can swab for the virus that causes them
  • Most treatments only treat the wart and don’t necessarily clear the virus
  • Freezing (Cryotherapy) is my preferred method, although repeated treatments are usually needed
  • I recommend leaving no longer than 2 weeks between treatments
  • There is a risk of scarring with repeated treatments
  • Other treatment options include an acid that can be applied at home
  • There is also an immune-modulating cream which can be applied topically
  • During the first consultation, we will discuss the different options in detail before making a recommendation
