Treatment For Genital Warts

Genital warts are caused by low-risk HPV types (commonly 6 and 11). Treatment removes visible warts (topical therapies like podofilox or imiquimod, or clinic procedures such as cryotherapy or surgical removal), but HPV can persist and warts may recur. Vaccination, condom use and routine cervical screening are key prevention measures.
