Hi there and thank you for the question. Genital warts is one of the common sexually transmitted infection (STI) that is passed on through vaginal, anal and, rarely through oral sex. The symptoms of genital warts includes one or more painless growths of lumps around your vagina, penis or anus.

Itching or even bleeding from your anus or genitals, a change to your normal flow of urine that does not go away by time, a sexual partner who has the same symptoms as you, even if you do not have any symptoms at all. Treatment from a clinic or hospital can help them go away. Treatment for genital warts needs to be prescribed by a GP or doctor. The type of treatment you will be advised depends on what your warts are like.

The doctor or GP will discuss in more details with you.

1.cream or liquid: you can usually apply cream to the warts by yourself a few times a week for several weeks, but in some cases you do need to go to the clinic every week for a GP or nurse to apply it. This is because these treatments can cause pain, irritation or a burning sensation sometimes

2.surgocal option: a doctor or GP can cut, burn or laser the warts to peel it off but bear this can cause irritation or scarring later

3.freezing technique: a doctor or GP freezes the warts, usually every week for a month and this as well can cause soreness

It may take weeks or months for treatment to success, and the warts may reoccur. In some patients the treatment does not work. There is currently no cure for genital warts but it is possible for your body to clear the virus as time goes by.
