Other methods for larger warts include freezing, laser treatment, and slicing with a hot wire. Warts often resolve on their own. On the other hand, warts may recur even after treatment. HPV infection should be watched closely in women, even if no symptoms appear. The reason is that HPV may cause cervical cancer.
Cervical cancer is the second most common reproductive cancer in women.
High risk women should have regular annual Pap tests. Women exposed to HPV should take this seriously. A Pap test can detect a cervical problem before it is actually cancer. It is much harder to treat and may be fatal after it progresses to cancer. You can reduce your risk of getting genital warts by using condoms.
