How to Get Rid of Genital Warts

Talking about how to get rid of genital warts, we will start with methods that are certified by the medical authorities. Cryotherapy is a proven method to get rid of genital warts and that is basically by freezing them off. During the treatment, doctor will use liquid nitrogen and spray or rub them on the warts. This works through extreme colds that cause the genital warts to crystallize which literally tear them apart. After the treatment, genital warts will turn white and also swollen. After a few days, they will start to fall off and new skins will grow. Cryotherapy is done in the office or in the hospital and is done by professionals. The only downside is that it is expensive and also, no guarantee the genital warts won’t come back.

Next one is electrocautery. Electrocautery is the opposite of cryotherapy as it uses probe with electric currents to remove the warts. Before the removal, local anaesthetic will first be applied to numb the area around genital warts. Then, the probe will be charged with electric current and the needles will then be put on the genital warts. The needles will heat up and burns off the genital warts. It is claimed that electrocautery is very effective in removing the genital warts and warts are also less likely to return after treatment. Still, there is no prefect guarantee that the genital warts will not return. More likely, the virus becomes inactive and warts will only appear an extensive period.

Most common removal method is through surgical method. It is the same like every surgical procedure where genital warts are cut off and new skin is left to grow after that. However, scarring may occur. Furthermore, as the genital warts are removed through excision and blood is involved, infection may occur and complications may happen after surgery such as painful urinations, fever or shaking chills and foul smelling discharge during urination or from the vagina.

All the methods mentioned are done in the office. There are also other methods available such as laser surgery and home remedies. Be sure that they are certified and safe before you really go for such treatments.

When doctors recommend safe sex, it’s for a reason. Of course we mainly think of it only when we are talking about AIDS, but it’s actually an advice to prevent all kinds of STDs.
