What do I do if I think I have genital warts?
If you find a lump or bump down there - don't panic.
Our sexual health clinicians specialise in genital wart removal with minimal discomfort.
If you are experiencing any symptoms, come in and speak to one of our private sexual health doctors. At Fleet Street Clinic, we have a highly experienced team who can help you diagnose and offer same day treatment.
Genital warts look like any other formation of wart – they are small, red or pink growths resembling raspberries or cauliflowers, in or around the genitals or rectum.
I have a lump but am unsure if it's genital warts?
If you're unsure, it would be more suitable for you to book a symptomatic Sexual Health Consultation rather than a Wart Consultation.
That way our private doctor can confirm whether the lump you have is in fact genital warts or not.
We often see patients who have been incorrectly self-diagnosed or have been told they have warts but in fact do not. There are a number of reasons for a lump.
If genital warts are diagnosed, our doctor will do initial treatment within the appointment time. They will also ensure that you do not have warts in areas which you have not noticed. They will explain if any follow up appointments will be required and also discuss how you can best prevent getting genital warts again.
I have a HPV outbreak - what do I do?
Unfortunately, genital warts can reoccur.
Warts can come back after you have managed to get rid of them. This may happen weeks, months or years after they first appeared.
If your genital warts have returned, you will need to come into the clinic for another course of treatment. Sometime they reoccur in the same area but often times they can reappear in a new area. Book a wart consultation and during this appointment initial treatment can begin on the same day.
As a healthy immune system is usually able to clear the HPV virus, or suppress it, keeping your immune system as healthy as possible will likely reduce further HPV outbreaks.
Confidential & Discreet
How can I catch Genital Warts?
Genital warts are caused by a sexually transmitted HPV infection.
Genital Warts (HPV) are passed from person to person through an exchange of infected bodily fluids or skin-to-skin contact. This includes unprotected vaginal or anal sex, or by sharing infected sex toys. Although rare, it can also be transmitted via oral sex. Genital Warts cannot be passed on by kissing or sharing objects like towels, cutlery, cups or toilet seats.
Genital warts can appear any where in the private areas of the body, such as vagina, penis and anus.
My partner has been diagnosed with genital warts - what do I do?
Our private doctors may advise abstinence.
As HPV is passed through skin to skin contact, therefore, even safe sex advice may not offer full protection.
Our doctors may advise you to avoid sex while you’re having treatment for genital warts to wait for the virus to clear from your system. This will reduce the risk of you passing it along to your partner/s.
It’s possible to pass on the virus even when there are no visible warts on the skin. So, you both may be HPV-positive without knowing.
How are Genital Warts treated?
Genital warts present in many different ways so it’s best not to self-diagnose and see a doctor for an examination.
Your doctor will advise the best way to treat you genital warts. This could be by cryotherapy (freezing), burning or surgical excision. Cryotherapy is are our preferred method of treating warts with minimal discomfort.
