Catching an STD is not what anybody wants to happen to them. Nevertheless, the sad reality is that young people are faced with many sexually transmitted infections that are spread rapidly. One of the most serious STD is the genital wart. The best solution you can resort to is to go to the doctor and quickly take action.

Genital warts are usually asymptomatic, but depending on the size and anatomic location, they can be painful. The primary reason for treating genital warts is the amelioration of the symptoms and ultimately genital war removal. If left untreated, visible genital warts can resolve on their own, remain unchanged, or increase in size and number. Then, the process of genital wart removal will be more difficult. Treatment after the genital wart removal should be guided by the preference of the patient, available resources and the experience of the health care provider.

Because of the uncertainty regarding the effect of treatment on future transmission of HPV and the possibility of spontaneous resolution, an acceptable alternative for some persons is to forego treatment after genital wart removal. One of the methods of the genital wart removal process is cryotherapy, which involves freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen. Genital wart removal can also be done by laser, the wart being physically destroyed by the laser. Another course of action for genital wart removal is using an electric current called electrodesication. A final treatment for genital wart removal is the use of special chemicals. Such methods may require several application for a duration of several weeks before the warts dissolve.

There are several procedures for genital wart removal. If the problem is internal, then an individual should not attempt removing measures. Instead, one needs to have the genital wart removal procedure done by a practising doctor. Before any genital wart removal is done, the individual should take care not to irritate the area which can lead to bleeding. The person should prevent the transmission to a sexual partner and not to touch themselves as they are infectious. 

In general, genital warts should be removed as they are infectious and can spread to other people if the proper precautions are taken.
