If you’ve been diagnosed with genital warts, one of the most common concerns is whether the treatment will be painful. The truth is — genital warts treatment can cause some level of discomfort, but modern medical techniques are designed to make the process as gentle and effective as possible.
Genital Warts Treatment
At Elitecare Center in Accra, we offer several safe options for removing genital warts, and the level of discomfort usually depends on the method used and your skin’s sensitivity. Treatments can include:
- Topical Medications
Mild stinging or irritation is common, but this is usually manageable and temporary. - Cryotherapy (Freezing the Warts)
Some patients feel a quick, cold burn or minor discomfort during and shortly after the procedure, but it typically fades within a few hours. - Electrosurgery or Laser Treatment
These methods are more advanced and can involve local anesthesia to minimize pain during the procedure. - Surgical Removal
If needed, surgical removal is done under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the process, though mild soreness can occur afterward.
How to Minimize Discomfort
- Your healthcare provider may apply a numbing agent before treatment.
- Over-the-counter pain relief can help ease any post-treatment discomfort.
- Following aftercare instructions reduces irritation and promotes healing.
