Why Stay on Therapy?
It's important to stick with your treatment exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Proper treatment can clear visible warts, relieving discomfort and helping prevent the spreading of external genital warts to others.
While it has not been proven, it has been suggested that by eliminating visible warts and prolonging a wart-free period, treatment may help reduce the risk of transmission.
External genital warts can recur and it is also possible to become reinfected. The only sure way to prevent external genital warts is not to have sex. If you choose to be sexually active, limit the number of partners you have and always practice safe sex. Your doctor can advise you about safe sex practices.
