Genital warts (HPV) treatment in Dubai
Genital warts are among the most common conditions caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). They appear as small skin growths in the genital area or around the anus, singly or in clusters. Although usually benign, delayed care can lead to growth or spread, so medical review is advised if you notice unusual changes.
At Al Qudra Medical Clinic in Dubai, Dr. Khaled Abdul Karim Al-Nono provides advanced diagnosis and treatment aimed at safe removal, patient comfort, and reducing recurrence risk.
What are genital warts?
Genital warts are skin growths caused by certain HPV types, usually transmitted sexually. They may appear on the genitals, around the anus, or inside the anal canal, and may cause no early symptoms — making examination important for accurate diagnosis.
Symptoms
- Small skin growths in the genital area or around the anus
- Itching or irritation
- Discomfort when sitting or moving
- Mild bleeding in some cases
- Increase in number or size over time if untreated
Genital warts are often linked to low-risk HPV types (especially 6 and 11), which are not usually cancer-causing. High-risk types such as HPV 16 and 18 may, if persistent without follow-up, raise risk of certain cancers (cervical, anal, penile, vulvar/vaginal, and some oropharyngeal cancers).
Important: Having HPV does not mean cancer. Most infections clear naturally within 1–2 years. Risk rises when high-risk infection persists without monitoring or treatment. Early diagnosis, wart treatment, follow-up, and HPV vaccination (e.g. Gardasil 9) for eligible people are key prevention steps.
Treatment in Dubai
Treatment depends on number, size, location, and overall health. Options may include topical medication in some cases, or removal with laser or other modern methods chosen after clinical examination. Goals include removing visible warts, easing symptoms, and reducing transmission/recurrence risk, with regular follow-up.
Eligible patients are also advised to consider HPV vaccination to help prevent common virus types and related disease, per medical recommendations.
