Genital Warts - Who should I contact to have my genital warts removed?

Question

I have not been to a doctor in a long time, so i do not have a general physician. I do not know who to contact to help me with this.

Answer 1

Tom...good question. Genital warts are something that can be transferred, so it is best to have them taken care of. Many men prefer to see a urologist for treatment of genital warts. Urologists are Drs. that have specialized in the care and treatment of the bladder, urethra, ureters and the male and female external anatomy related to the function of urination. If the warts are not too complicated, many times a cream can be prescribed for the removal of the warts. This cream may need to be applied several times a week for up to sixteen weeks. Duration of treatment varies with depth and degree of the warts. If you don't want to wait that long, other treatments may be available including lazer and minor outpt. surgery to remove them. The important thing to remember is to have protected sex until the warts are taken care of, as you don't really want to share them.

Answer 2

I am sorry. I'm sure your GYN doctor can answer all your questions. I do believe a strain of the HPV virus (11 or 6) is causing your genital warts, though sometimes you can have no symptoms at all. I would highly avoid any sexual (genital) contact until you are cleared to by your doctor. I would treat this like a cold sore and just stay away until its gone.

Go see a dermatologist. They can freeze them off for you. Keep in mind if you get them frozen off the area will get red and scab over for a few days. It may take more than one visit to get rid of them also. They also have creams you can apply to the area it, but it takes longer than if you get them frozen off.

A dermatologist can freeze them off for you.

Best wishes and good luck.
