As you are aware of, there is still no cure for genital warts. However, they can be treated either by a doctor or at home. Genital warts treatment for women basically comes in a cream or gel form. It works by attacking and then breaking down the infected wart tissue. Podophyllin is one of the strongest topical medications that are usually used by the doctor for his patient. However, this type of treatment is rather old and no longer common use these days.
For those who are looking for treatments that can be done at home, you may ask your doctor to prescribe you imiquimod or podofilx. Either these medications can be used at home. However, if you are in your pregnancy period, you are not advised to use both these two medications as both can be absorbed and therefore causing birth defects to your child. Moreover, they are designed for external use only.
You too should be aware that there is a difference between regular warts and genital warts. Genital warts are formed differently by strains of HPV compared to strains that cause wart at different part of your body. Furthermore, genital warts only appear at areas on our body that are more sensitive. Therefore, you should not try to use over the counter treatments for genital warts.
