Genital warts caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) are the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI). There are many strains of HPV, but nearly 90% of all infections are caused by HPV 6 and HPV 11 strains. Not everyone that is infected with the virus will develop genital warts; however, you can still infect others with the virus even without showing symptoms. HPV is highly contagious and spreads quickly by skin-to-skin contact, keep in mind that genital warts are different than other warts found on hands and feet as different strains of HPV cause them.

Regardless of what type of warts you may have, we can help you remove them at our clinic in Brampton.

Warts may appear anywhere on the body but are commonly found on the hands and feet. In men, genital warts typically appear on the penis, scrotum, thighs, groin, and around the anus. In women, genital warts may appear inside and outside the vagina, anus and cervix. It is also possible to have genital warts inside the mouth, throat, tongue and lips if a person engages in unprotected oral sex with an infected partner.

Some HPV strains are more dangerous than others, particularly for women, as they may cause changes to the cervix and lead to cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is the 4th most common cancer in women, and virtually all cervical cancer is a complication of HPV. In addition, an astonishing 90% of anal cancer is also caused by HPV.

Visiting a doctor regularly will help with early detection and may help prevent cancer.

Genital wart removal methods

1. Electrocautery - This method uses an electric current to burn off warts and is best suited for smaller genital warts.
2. Cryotherapy - This method uses liquid nitrogen to freeze the wart and allows it to fall off on its own and is also best suited for single small warts.
3. Laser treatment - This method uses a laser to burn off warts and is used with all types and sizes of warts.
4. Surgical excision - This method uses surgical scissors or a scalpel where the doctor surgically removes the wart; this is best suited for large warts and clusters of challenging to reach with other methods.
