Book a genital wart treatment appointment WITHOUT THE WAIT
Genital warts are small growths caused by human papillomavirus. They are extremely common, they are not dangerous, and they are treatable. They are also the kind of thing people put off for months out of embarrassment, which is a shame, because the appointment is brief and matter of fact.
Diagnosis is by examination rather than a test. A doctor looks, confirms whether what you have are warts or something else, and discusses treatment. Several conditions produce lumps and bumps in the genital area that are not warts at all and need entirely different management, so getting the diagnosis right is the useful part.
One reassurance worth stating plainly: the HPV types that cause visible warts are not generally the types that cause cancer. Having had warts does not mean you are at high cancer risk. The high risk types are invisible and are looked for through cervical screening, which is a separate thing covered further down.

When to BE SEEN
Warts Can Appear Long After Exposure
Warts often appear weeks to months after exposure, and sometimes much longer, so their appearance does not date when you acquired the virus. This matters in relationships and is worth knowing before drawing conclusions.
Same Day Appointments
Usually available across all ten clinics, Monday to Friday 8am to 7pm and Saturday mornings. [Confirm exact Saturday closing time per clinic.]

HPV, warts and CANCER RISK
Human papillomavirus is a family of more than a hundred viruses, and the distinction between them is the single most important thing on this page.
Low risk types, principally HPV 6 and 11, cause the visible growths we call genital warts. They are a cosmetic and psychological nuisance rather than a medical danger, and they do not cause cancer.
High risk types, principally HPV 16 and 18, cause no visible signs at all. They are the ones that, in a small proportion of persistent infections over many years, cause cervical cancer and some cancers of the anus, penis, vulva and throat. Because they are invisible, they are detected through cervical screening, which tests for high risk HPV directly.
So the two are genuinely separate concerns, and the reassurance runs in one direction: having visible warts does not mean you have a high cancer risk, because the types causing warts are not the types causing cancer. The reverse is not reassuring in the same way, since you can carry a high risk type with nothing to see, which is exactly why screening exists.
On how common this is. HPV is the most common STI in the world, most sexually active people acquire it at some point, and the immune system clears the great majority of infections within a couple of years without anything happening. It is not a marker of anything about a person’s behaviour.
On treatment. Treatments remove the visible warts; they do not eliminate the virus, which the immune system deals with over time. That is why warts sometimes recur after treatment, and why recurrence is not a treatment failure. Options include topical prescription creams applied at home over several weeks, and cryotherapy, freezing the warts at the clinic, usually over several sessions. Which suits you depends on the number, size and location of the warts.
On vaccination. The HPV vaccine protects against the high risk types and against the two types causing most warts. It is given to children in the UK before exposure, which is when it works best, and it is also available privately to adults, where the benefit is smaller but real depending on your circumstances.

Genital wart treatment FAQs
By examination. A doctor looks at the area, and no test is usually needed.
Topical prescription creams applied at home, or cryotherapy at the clinic, usually over several sessions.
Usually weeks to months, sometimes much longer, so their appearance does not tell you when you acquired the virus.
For women, high risk HPV is tested as part of cervical screening. A general HPV test outside that context rarely changes anything, and we will explain why before you pay for one.
It is worth a conversation, though HPV is so common that transmission dates are usually impossible to establish. Partners do not need treatment unless they have warts themselves.
No. The HPV types causing visible warts are not the types that cause cancer.
Sometimes. Treatment removes the warts, while your immune system clears the virus over time, so recurrence is common and is not a sign treatment failed.
Yes, and most people do. Most HPV infection is invisible and clears by itself.
No routinely recommended one. There is no established screening test for HPV in men, and that is worth knowing rather than being sold something instead.
Yes, though warts can be passed on, and it is reasonable to wait until treatment has finished. Condoms reduce but do not eliminate transmission.
