I also had them years ago. I used Proboden? which basically burned the wart chemically. My wife had to have some of hers removed by laser because they got too big. It seems as though you should be rid of them after 4 months unless you are getting new ones. Mine were burned off within weeks. Maybe you should reevaluate this with your doctor or see someone else.

I have had Genital Warts for over a year the only thing that cleared them up was getting cryo-surgery. It hurts terribly bad, but it worked after second time.
It does cost alot though.
Its a good and fast solution.
Just try not to get stressed out, and eat right.

hi, thank you for your reply..

do you know if you havbe "full coverage" will it pay for cryo-sergury? i really want to have it, and my boyfriend has been hasseling me for sometime to get it, but i really can't afford it, do u think it will cover it? i just got kicked out of kaiser so i have to wait a few months to get on another health plan, so there is really noone else to ask.

thanx...

Don’t let your guy hassle you about when you should get them removed, especially since he gave it to you. Take you time a figure out with your doctor what steps to get rid of them will be best for you.
I have had visible warts for 6 months now, mostly I beak out then they go away on their own. But I have had persistent once, which I use Aldara for, it’s good but still have some more warts to get rid of. I don’t know if I would recommend cryotherapy (I got it for my cervical dysplasia) and it hurt like crazy. So I’m guessing that it would hurt too if I got cryotherapy for the warts on my vagina. So I’m pretty much trying to avoid getting cryotherapy again for anything even if it’s for warts I have on the outside.
