Cryotherapy
What causes warts on labia minora?
Genital warts are a common sexually transmitted infection caused by a virus called Human Papilloma
Virus (HPV). This virus is passed on through direct skin-to-skin contact with someone who has HPV on
their skin. It can be passed from person to person during vaginal and anal sex.
What is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is the first-line treatment recommended for genital warts. It is very effective and has a high
clearance.
By freezing the warts using a very cold substance (usually liquid nitrogen), done at the Clinic, it’s a
painless and scarless procedure.
Dr Caroline applies a very cold substance, in less than one minute around the warts to freeze them. You
may have a mild or moderate burning sensation during treatment, sessions can be spaced by one week.
Warts spread after Cryotherapy?
After a treatment, the skin will blister or get irritated and the warts will not be contagious anymore.
