Cryotherapy for genital warts is a doctor-delivered freezing procedure that uses medical liquid nitrogen to destroy the wart tissue while aiming to protect surrounding skin. At Broadgate GP, your consultation and any treatment are handled discreetly by a private doctor in our Central London practice. If you also want a doctor to confirm the diagnosis or arrange swabs, our genital warts and HPV testing service can be booked at the same time. Cryotherapy is a practical option for many adults with visible warts on the penile, vulval, groin or anal skin that can be examined safely in clinic.
During your consultation, your GP will confirm that the lumps are likely to be genital warts, discuss suitability, and if appropriate plan a short course of sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Many patients prefer cryotherapy to prescription creams when quick reduction of visible lesions is the priority. Your doctor will also cover aftercare, when to avoid sexual contact and when you can return to normal activities.
Cryotherapy can be suitable for adults with visible genital warts confirmed on examination. It is usually chosen for external lesions that can be reached and treated precisely in a GP setting. Internal cervical, urethral or high vaginal lesions typically require referral to a specialist sexual health clinic or gynaecology service for targeted care. Final suitability depends on wart size, number, site and your skin type, as well as your preference after medical advice.
If a different method would be safer or more comfortable for your skin, your GP will explain alternatives and help you choose.
Some patients are better served with topical therapy first, or with another procedure. Very soft, broad based or widespread flat lesions may respond well to prescription creams used at home with guidance. If warts sit inside the urethra or high in the vagina, freezing in a GP setting is not appropriate and a specialist clinic is usually recommended. People with certain skin conditions, reduced sensation in the area or who cannot follow aftercare advice may be advised to defer or use another option.
Pregnancy requires a tailored plan. Your doctor will choose a safe management approach and timing, and will avoid treatments that are not recommended during pregnancy. Any decision is made after a clinical assessment, with your preferences considered and explained clearly.
After consent, your doctor cleans the skin and positions the applicator. Medical liquid nitrogen is applied in timed freeze cycles that destroy wart cells. You may feel stinging or burning for a short period and the skin often looks white while frozen, then red as it thaws. A small blister can form, which is a normal treatment effect. The session usually takes minutes, depending on the number and size of lesions.
Most people return to normal activities the same day. Further sessions, where required, are often booked one to three weeks later to support clearance.
Mild redness, tenderness or a small blister may appear within hours of freezing. The area can ooze slightly then scab before new skin forms. Keep it clean and dry, avoid picking and wear loose, breathable clothing to reduce rubbing. If a dressing is provided, change it as advised. Simple pain relief can be discussed if you are sore. Your GP will show you how to protect the skin during healing and will advise on bathing, exercise and work.
Healing speed varies by site and skin type. Many treated areas settle within one to three weeks. Clearance of all visible lesions often needs more than one session, spaced appropriately. Your doctor will review healing at each visit and adjust the plan if a particular wart needs a longer freeze or a different approach. If creams are also appropriate for smaller surrounding lesions, they may be prescribed to complement freezing.
Genital warts are caused by certain human papillomavirus types on the skin. Even after visible warts are cleared, the virus can remain in nearby skin for a time, which is why recurrence is possible. Follow-up checks help manage any new lesions early. Your GP can also discuss steps that may reduce future episodes, including skin care, avoiding trauma to the area and looking after your immune system with rest and general health measures.
Avoid sexual activity, including oral sex and sharing sex toys, until the skin has healed. Condoms reduce risk but do not fully prevent transmission because HPV can spread through skin to skin contact in uncovered areas. Your doctor will advise when it is safe to resume sexual contact and how to minimise transmission risk with current or new sexual partners. If symptoms such as increasing pain, spreading redness or discharge develop, contact the clinic for review.
If you have not had a recent STI screen, your GP may recommend testing. This can be arranged at the same visit where appropriate and can include swabs and blood tests based on your sexual health history and symptoms. While an HPV test is not routinely used to diagnose genital warts, broader screening can be helpful if a partner has notified you of an infection, if you have changed partners, or if you have symptoms suggesting another STI through our private sexual health clinic in London.
Vaccination can help. The HPV vaccine protects against strains linked to genital warts and some cancers, including cervical cancer. Your doctor can advise whether vaccination is appropriate for you, taking into account your age, previous vaccination and medical history. For cervical screening, you can also book a private smear test in London. If you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, mention this at the start of your consultation so we can plan safely and coordinate any screening or treatment with suitable timing.
Fees depend on assessment and the number and complexity of lesions treated, as well as whether combined approaches, such as prescription creams between sessions, are recommended. Your doctor will explain costs before any treatment and provide a clear plan for anticipated sessions. If you need a written estimate or a receipt for an employer or insurer, we can arrange this.
People often search for genital wart removal cost to plan ahead. Exact pricing varies because every case is different, and some patients clear in a single visit while others benefit from a short course. If you prefer to stage treatment over time, we can schedule sessions to suit your plans and budget while keeping clinical safety in mind.
