Common Questions and Answers about Laser surgery genital warts

laser

Avatar n tn Laser treatment for genital warts, is nothing but vapourising warts and is reserved for tough to treat warts. Laser treatment is very precise and can be used to treat warts in difficult to reach areas. Laser treatment also has a low risk of damage to surrounding tissue. During the procedure, smoke created from the vapourising tissue is extracted by a machine. This can be quite loud and may be alarming if you haven't been warned.

Avatar n tn Its been 17 weeks since my laser ablation surgery for hpv warts. Surgery was painful, they lasered several areas in my inner labia, outer, and Annnd vaginal opening. So far there hasn't been recurrence. Once i rushed to the doc but she said i wad imagining things because my anxiety is so high. At what point can i stop checking myself for recurrences? At what point can i have unprotected sex without fear of transmission?
Avatar m tn Unless warts are very large and uncomfortable, surgical removal or aggressive laser surgery to remove the warts is generally avoided. In any case you should not attempt to remove a wart yourself by cutting, tearing, picking, or any other method. You should consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Hope it helps.

Avatar n tn My laser treatment - surgery - is planned for January. Has anyone had laser surgery for genital warts removal before? I am worried about the scarring and the recovery part of the surgery. My Dr. said I would be in bed for about 15 days following the surgery, and that it would take about 1 month to heal completely. I've heard about horror stories... bad scarring... tissue sticking together... skin not being the same afterwards, and complicated intercourse following the surgery.
Avatar f tn I have been diganosed with external genital warts and am awaiting CO2 laser vaporization surgery. My first questions are: can the warts spread on me if I shave my external genital area or if I masturbate, can they be spread into my vagina? My second questions are: can I transmit the genital warts to my future partners if I don't have any visible warts and can HPV be transmitted to my children if they use the same bathtub after I have showered?

Avatar f tn Recently, she received laser surgery for genital warts, which had serious painful side effects. Once healed, she had another outbreak of genital warts. This is seriously affecting our ability to have sex, and causing tremendous anxiety and stress in our marriage. We currently live in Asia and have limited external medical resources. What are some possible options for someone experiencing recurrent and frequent outbreaks? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
Avatar m tn Hi, I'm male 27 yrs old, sexually active, I was recently diagnosed with genital warts. At first I've noticed small bumps in groups on the shaft of my penis. My local urologist performed a surgery and had them removed with laser. About 2-3 months later started to notice them again, but this time there were also small tiny bumps under the skin of the shaft of my penis. Very small in size almost microscopic, upon squeezing the skin they felt like little rocks.

Avatar m tn ve had my fair share of random bar hook ups that I am now ashamed of because I think I have genital warts. I always used condoms except for the guys that I've known. I think back in december I got a bump on my vulva that I just assumed was a razor burn at the time. Months have gone by and I've noticed more bumps. Probably around 12 or so down there now. and there's 2 that are kind of bigger than a pimple that I'm really concerned about.
Avatar n tn In men, genital warts can grow on the tip or shaft of the penis, the anus, or the scrotum. In women, genital warts can grow on the vulva and perineal area and extend internally into the vagina and cervix. Genital warts can also occur in the thigh and groan area and might even develop in the throat and mouth of a person who has had oral sex with an infected person. Like warts that appear on other areas of the skin, genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).
Avatar m tn Hello, The strain of virus causing genital warts is different from the one causing plain warts. However continuous touching of the genital area when you have plain warts can cause transmission of the virus and hence warts to appear on genital area. In 90% of cases, the body’s immune system clears HPV naturally within two years. But, sometimes, HPV infections are not cleared and can have HPV even if years have passed since he or she had sexual contact with an infected person.
Avatar m tn genital warts r not hard white bumps...and NO to ur question.u need to look at other posts her...this one has been answered a zillion times!why have u not had these xamined?
Avatar n tn the first one said that I should just treat it with anti-itchiness cream and see if it goes away on its own, while the other one said that I should definitely take laser surgery or else the warts would never go away and just stay with me. Is this true? I'm really confused right now.
Avatar m tn In November of 2011 I had a genital wart removed by laser. It was classic in it's appearance, obviously raised, whitish pink in color and cauliflower in appearance. It was on the underside of my penis near the base. A couple of months ago I returned to the laser center for a check up of my symptoms. The doctor noticed an area that I had been concerned about. It is a small area, just a bit smaller then a pencil eraser, on the top side of my penis.
Avatar f tn I also tried sylicic acid for plantars warts.. burns as well, but it says right on the bottle not to use on genital warts... It seems to work though... so is it really dangerous?
Avatar m tn I recently received cryotherapy treatment for my genital warts. The warts in that area are gone but it left a HUGE 3 inch long scar starting from the base of the shaft and wrapping downward. The lady who did the treatment didn't have a clue what she was doing. Anyway I'm slightly darker down there, the scars are white/pink in color and so the scar is quite apparent. Is there anything i can do to fade the scar?
