Celibacy - not having sex. This does not mean that other forms of closeness need to be eliminated. We recommend that male sexual partners of women with genital warts be examined by a physician. If warts are found on exam the partner can be treated. If warts are not found, the male may still carry HPV, but show no signs of it.
Some physicians are more knowledgeable about genital warts than others.
Dermatology, Family Practice or Urology specialists will likely be most helpful. Ask the nurse or physician if you have more questions. If you already have dysplasia, stopping smoking may reduce your chance of the dysplasia coming back after treatment.
