When you discover you have genital warts you must seek help immediately. If you wait it may lead to deformity: warts clustering together to form a cauliflower-like shape. With women warts increase the risk of cancer of the cervix.
The sooner you start treatment, the easier. When the warts are still small they can be treated locally by applying a cream or chemicals, freezing them, burning them off or by laser treatment. But when they are bigger surgery is often necessary.
The bad news is that the warts can be treated, but the viral infection itself cannot be cured. That means the warts can always return.
