HPV
TREATMENTS |
|
|
HPV must be treated by a
doctor. DO NOT use over-the counter remedies meant for other kinds
of warts. Your doctor may treat HPV by applying a skin
treatment in the office. Or, the doctor may prescribe a medication
that you apply at home several times per week.
Surgical treatments include cryosurgery, electrocauterization, laser
therapy, or surgical excision.
If you develop HPV, all of your sexual partners MUST be
examined by a health care provider and treated if HPV are
found.
After your initial treatment, your doctor will schedule follow-up
examinations to see if the warts have returned.
Women who have had HPV, and female partners of men with a
history of HPV, should have pap smears at least every 6
months. For warts on the cervix, women may be advised to have pap
smears every 3 months after initial treatment. |
