The sexually transmitted condition of genital warts is most disturbing with both sexes affected both inside and outside their sexual organs including the anus; often giving the appearance of regular varieties. These are transmitted by sexual intercourse, including orally, and are caused by a virus known as HPV (human papillomavirus). This is one particular instance where using a condom will not always prevent the genital warts; women can be infected and be unaware of the situation for a long time making them easy to transmit to others.
What makes it worse is they can lie dormant for years at a time and it may not be possible to know who infected you in the first place.Once a person is infected, they too become a carrier, unwittingly promoting the virus. While there are many hundreds of strains of this virus, only one causes ano-genital warts: the HPV6 strain. Normally a person becomes aware of warts as they can be seen and felt but those inside a woman’s cervix will probably only be discovered when she has a gynecological examination.

The doctor or dermatologist will decide if liquid nitrogen can be used and this will depend on the location of the infected area although the whole procedure does not cause any pain.
Your doctor may get electro-cautery or surgical excision to remove the wart and lasers have emerged as a good option.

Genital warts can be treated with imiquimod which is administered to aid the immune system kill them directly but it still can’t kill the virus that causes the infection and some may still form even when the liquid is being used.
