Genital Warts is spread via sexual skin-to-skin contact with someone who has the infection. This includes vaginal, anal, and oral sex.
It's estimated that around 90% of genital warts are caused by infection with HPV types 6 and 11. However, these types are not associated with a significant risk of cancer. It's also estimated that around two thirds of sexually active adults will get infected with at least one strain of HPV in their lifetime.
Cryotherapy treatment for Genital Warts is exclusively available at our flagship clinic in Wimpole Street in central London, and costs £124.
