Order onlineWhat are genital warts?
Genital warts are a sexually transmitted infection caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV, mainly types 6 and 11), appearing as wart-like growths around the genitals and anus. They often appear several weeks to months after infection and may be asymptomatic, but if left untreated, their number can increase. At Mona Aoyama Clinic, we prescribe ointment through online medical consultations and deliver it to your home (private medical care).
Comparison of Treatments
| Treatment | Method | Features |
|---|---|---|
| Imiquimod cream (topical, generic name) | Apply 3 times a week before bed, wash off in the morning (5-16 weeks) | Can be treated at home. Utilizes the immune system's response to the virus. Recurrence is considered relatively low. |
| Cryotherapy, electrocautery, laser | Physical removal at the clinic (in-person) | Faster results. May require multiple clinic visits. |
The doctor will suggest the most suitable method depending on the number, size, and location of the lesions. The effectiveness and side effects vary from person to person.
Precautions for Ointment Treatment
- This treatment is private medical care (self-pay). Health insurance does not apply.
- Redness and erosion may occur in the applied area. If symptoms are severe, discontinue use and consult a medical institution.
- Be careful not to get it on areas other than the affected area, and wash it off thoroughly in the morning.
- Refrain from sexual intercourse during treatment or use condoms.
- If you are pregnant or may be pregnant, please inform us before use.
We recommend in-person consultation in the following cases:
In the following cases, an in-person examination may be necessary.
- Lesions are large, numerous, or widespread.
- Lesions are suspected inside the vagina or on the cervix.
- Lesions are present in the urethral opening or inside the anus.
- Bleeding or ulcers are observed.
- It is difficult to determine if it is genital warts.
- External medicine does not improve the condition.
If any of these apply to you, please consult a nearby medical institution.
Recurrence prevention and partners
Even after warts disappear with treatment, genital warts can recur. It is important to monitor the affected area for a while after treatment and consult a doctor promptly if warts reappear. Domestic guidelines recommend follow-up for three months after treatment.
Also, using condoms and other measures are important for preventing infection. The HPV vaccine is also effective in preventing infection from some HPV types that cause genital warts.
