Genital Warts Treatment in Busan, Korea

Genital warts are one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and are caused by low-risk types of Human Papillomavirus (HPV), most commonly HPV types 6 and 11. Although genital warts are generally not cancerous, they can cause discomfort, spread to sexual partners, and affect confidence and quality of life.

At Seomyeon Glory Women's Clinic, our experienced English-speaking OBGYN specialists provide confidential diagnosis and personalized treatment for genital warts using evidence-based medical approaches. We focus on removing visible warts, reducing recurrence when possible, and supporting your long-term sexual and reproductive health.

What Are Genital Warts?

Genital warts are small skin growths that develop on or around the genital and anal areas after infection with certain low-risk HPV types.

They may appear on the:

• Vulva
• Labia
• Vaginal opening
• Cervix
• Perineum
• Around the anus

Genital warts may occur as a single lesion or in clusters of varying sizes.

What Causes Genital Warts?

Genital warts are caused by infection with low-risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV), usually:

• HPV type 6
• HPV type 11

The virus spreads primarily through intimate skin-to-skin sexual contact.

Although condoms reduce the risk of HPV transmission, they do not provide complete protection because HPV can infect areas not covered by a condom.

Symptoms of Genital Warts

Many people have no symptoms.

When symptoms occur, they may include:

• Small flesh-colored bumps
• Soft growths around the genital area
• Clusters of wart-like lesions
• Itching
• Mild irritation
• Occasional discomfort during sexual activity

Some genital warts are so small they can only be detected during a medical examination.

How Are Genital Warts Diagnosed?

Diagnosis usually includes:

• Medical history review
• Physical examination
• Pelvic examination
• Cervical examination when appropriate
• HPV testing when indicated
• Pap smear if recommended
• Biopsy in selected cases when the diagnosis is uncertain

Your OBGYN will recommend additional testing if necessary based on your symptoms and examination findings.

Treatment for Genital Warts

Treatment depends on the size, location, and number of warts.

Options may include:

• Prescription topical medications
• Cryotherapy (freezing treatment)
• Electrocautery
• Laser treatment
• Minor surgical removal
• Follow-up monitoring

Although treatment removes visible warts, HPV may remain in the body and recurrence is possible.

Can Genital Warts Be Prevented?

Prevention strategies include:

• HPV vaccination
• Regular cervical cancer screening
• Safer sexual practices
• Routine gynecological examinations
• Early evaluation of new genital lesions

HPV vaccination significantly reduces the risk of infection with the HPV types most commonly associated with genital warts.
