Genital warts (Contd)

Reviewed by Dr Dan Rutherford, GP

Outlook

Anyone who has previously been infected with genital warts runs the risk that they will return now and then for the rest of their life. However, sometimes there is only one outbreak.

The treatment can last for months.

Some wart types are thought to be connected to the occurrence of cell changes in the neck of the uterus and cancer in the sexual organs. It is therefore a good idea for women with genital warts in the vagina to have a smear test as well as following the prescribed treatment and having the normal tests.

It is not necessary to be referred to a sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinic by a doctor. You can arrange an appointment directly, and in total confidence. Contact phone numbers are always listed in the phone book.
