What makes Goldman's genital wart treatment special?

Treating genital warts means more than removing visible lesions. Hidden internal lesions must be checked so the treatment scope can be set accordingly. Because HPV can remain in the mucosa and cause recurrence, a step-by-step plan is needed, from precise diagnosis to post-treatment care. Goldman Urology Clinic therefore treats genital warts not as simple removal but as an integrated process that includes precise diagnosis and recurrence management. First, a biopsy and HPV PCR test identify the virus type and lesion extent. When needed, the urethra and mucosa are examined endoscopically for hidden lesions. Then, based on lesion location and extent, we apply treatments such as flexible endoscopic laser therapy to cover both external and internal lesions, using methods that reduce pain and tissue damage. Because genital warts can recur after treatment, we also guide patients through regular Multi-PCR follow-up testing, preventive care, and aftercare suited to their immune status. This step-by-step system, from identifying lesions and setting the treatment scope to aftercare, supports more stable outcomes and a lower risk of recurrence.

How should you choose a hospital that treats genital warts well?

When choosing a genital wart clinic, confirm that it goes beyond removing visible lesions and works step by step, from checking for hidden lesions to managing recurrence. Genital warts are caused by HPV, and if invisible lesions inside the mucosa are left untreated, they can cause recurrence. Consider these criteria together.- Care by a board-certified urologist and a dedicated genital wart clinic- Many genital wart cases and experience treating recurrent patients- Precise diagnostic and treatment equipment such as HPV PCR testing, endoscopy, and laser treatment- Follow-up testing after treatment and a plan to prevent recurrence In particular, a precise diagnosis that also examines unseen areas such as the urethra or anal mucosa matters more than removing only external lesions. The clinic must also be able to choose the right treatment for the lesion location and extent. For example, Goldman Urology Clinic identifies the virus type and lesion extent through a biopsy and HPV PCR testing, examines the urethra endoscopically when needed, and applies a treatment suited to the lesion location, such as flexible endoscopic laser therapy. After treatment, we guide patients through a management plan that accounts for recurrence, with regular follow-up testing and an immune management program. Choosing a clinic that works step by step, from diagnosis through treatment and aftercare, helps reduce the risk of recurrence and leads to more stable outcomes.

How much does genital wart treatment cost?

The cost of condyloma treatment varies with lesion size, number, and location and with the method. Laser treatment generally runs about KRW 100,000–300,000, more when lesions are numerous or extensive. The exact cost is explained after examination during consultation.

Can it be transmitted even without symptoms?

Yes. Even without symptoms, the virus can be on the skin, so transmission is possible. Since it can spread silently, take care with sexual contact with a diagnosed partner. Goldman Urology confirms infection clearly through accurate differential diagnosis.

Why do genital warts (condyloma) keep recurring?

Removing all visible genital warts does not mean treatment is finished. Latent HPV can cause genital warts to develop again at any time. For this reason, it is advisable to check for recurrence over a certain period.

Do genital warts (condyloma) ever heal on their own?

With genital warts, the risk of infecting a partner is very high. They also worsen over time, growing larger and more numerous. Once widespread, medication is not enough and surgery is needed. Because they cover a wide area of skin, the chance of skin damage during treatment also rises.

How should genital warts (condyloma) be managed?

Even after treatment, keep monitoring your condition and your immune health to reduce recurrence. If warts return, consistent treatment matters most. Avoid intercourse until declared cured; if unavoidable, use a condom.

What are genital warts (condyloma)?

Genital warts (condyloma) are caused by HPV infection and are highly contagious, appearing mainly on the genitals or around the anus. HPV types 6 and 11 are the main cause, and high-risk HPV types are also linked to cervical cancer and other conditions, so accurate diagnosis and early treatment are essential.

Genital warts (condyloma) by appearance

Genital warts look like ordinary warts but vary in size and shape,
and are often asymptomatic. They may appear in clusters
and take on an unsightly cockscomb or cauliflower-like shape.

Cauliflower-shaped (cockscomb)
Small papules
Blister-like
Flat warts

Genital warts (condyloma) by location

Genital warts can develop anywhere sexual contact occurs, including the genitals, anus, and urethra,
and endoscopy is needed if they spread internally.
Urethral warts in particular cause no symptoms or only subtle ones, such as hematuria or a split urine stream,
so they are easy to miss, which makes accurate diagnosis essential.

The causes of genital warts (condyloma):
is HPV the only one?

Genital warts (condyloma) are mostly caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), but viral infection alone does not cause them.
A combination of factors is at work, including personal immunity, hygiene, and sexual habits.

Human papillomavirus (HPV)
The most common cause of genital warts (condyloma).It spreads mainly through sexual contact, usually HPV types 6 and 11.
Weakened immunity
When stress, poor sleep, or overwork weaken immunity, the virus activates and lesions form more easily.
Frequent sexual contact and multiple partners
More partners means higher infection risk, and condoms alone cannot fully prevent it.
Poor hygiene and skin irritation
Poor hygiene around the genitals, or tiny injuries from shaving, raises the chance of infection.
Underlying conditions and co-infection with other STDs
Other infections such as HIV, herpes, or chlamydia weaken immunity and raise the incidence of genital warts (condyloma).

Condyloma (genital warts):
what symptoms accompany it?

Genital warts (condyloma) appear as wart-like growths in areas of sexual contact such as the genitals and anus.
They are easy to miss because there are often no symptoms at first, but over time they develop an unpleasant appearance and noticeable symptoms.
Symptoms can vary depending on the site and stage of infection, so an accurate diagnosis is needed.

Wart-like growths

Wart-like bumps of various sizes, shapes, and colors
appear on the skin and mucous membranes.
Symptomless infection

In the early stage of infection,
there are often no symptoms.
Multiple lesions

Over time, they often
spread in clusters.

Itching or a foreign-body sensation

Itching, stinging, or a dull, aching feeling
may occur.
Bleeding or discharge

Bleeding or oozing discharge may develop
on the genitals, anus, and other areas.
Urinary problems

If the urethra is infected, a split urine stream, painful urination,
or bleeding may occur.

Diagnosing condyloma (genital warts):
what methods are available?

Genital warts (condyloma) can be diagnosed right away when the characteristic lesions are visible to the naked eye.

In atypical cases a biopsy is required, and HPV typing can confirm infection more precisely.

Endoscopy may also be used to check for other STDs and for lesions inside the anus or urethra.

Visual inspection and acetic acid test

Lesions are inspected by eye, and acetic acid solution reveals their size and cellular changes.

Multi-PCR test

Goldman tests body fluids for HPV to accurately tell low-risk from high-risk types.

Biopsy

A tissue sample is examined to clearly distinguish genital warts from other conditions.

Endoscopic examination

Goldman uses an endoscope to closely examine hidden areas such as inside the urethra or anus.

Treating condyloma (genital warts):
how does it proceed?

Condyloma (genital warts) is treated in various ways depending on lesion size and location, from medical (drug) therapy to laser and endoscopic treatment.
Goldman provides customized treatment that precisely removes even unseen internal lesions to lower the recurrence rate.

Topical drug treatment

Medication is applied or injected to destroy wart tissue, usually for 4–6 weeks, and also as supportive care after surgery.

Cryotherapy

The lesion is frozen off with liquid nitrogen.

Safe, scar-free, and usable during pregnancy.

Electrocautery and laser

Removes lesions in a single session, with little bleeding and low recurrence.

Endoscopic laser

Lesions inside the urethra or anus are removed precisely and painlessly, often cured in a single session.

Podofilox

Effective for early lesions.

Cycles of 3 days on, 4 days off clear them within 4 weeks.

Imiquimod cream 5%

For small lesions; applied three times a week, results take an average of 16 weeks.

Questions about genital warts (condyloma)? Get answers now.

Goldman's know-how gives clear answers to patients' questions.

Treating genital warts does not end with removing the visible lesions; it is important to identify any hidden internal lesions as well and set the scope of treatment accordingly. In particular, because the HPV virus can remain in the mucosa and lead to recurrence, a step-by-step treatment plan is needed, from precise diagnosis through post-treatment care.
With this in mind, Goldman Urology takes an integrated approach that goes beyond removal to include precise diagnosis and recurrence management.

First, a biopsy and HPV PCR testing identify the virus type and the extent of the lesions, and when needed, the urethra and inner mucosa are examined with an endoscope to check for hidden lesions that cannot be seen. Then, depending on the location and extent of the lesions, treatments such as flexible endoscopic laser therapy are applied so that the treatment scope covers internal as well as external lesions, and methods to reduce pain and tissue damage during treatment are considered at the same time.
Because genital warts can recur after treatment, we also guide regular Multi-PCR follow-up testing, preventive care, and a post-treatment plan that considers immune status.This stepwise system, from lesion identification and treatment scope to post-treatment care, supports more stable outcomes and a lower risk of recurrence.
When choosing a hospital for genital wart treatment, look beyond removal of visible lesions and check whether it has a step-by-step care system from finding hidden lesions to recurrence management.This matters because genital warts are caused by HPV, and unless lesions hidden inside the mucosa are treated as well, they can lead to recurrence.

Therefore, it helps to also review the following criteria.
- - Whether care is provided by a urology specialist and a dedicated genital wart clinic is available
  - Whether it has experience with a wide range of genital wart cases, including recurrent patients
  - Whether it has precise diagnostic and treatment equipment such as HPV PCR testing, endoscopy, and laser treatment
  - Whether it explains post-treatment follow-up testing and a management plan for preventing recurrence
In particular, rather than removing only external lesions, precise diagnosis that also examines unseen areas such as the urethra and anal mucosa is important, along with a setting where treatment is chosen by lesion location and extent.

For example, Goldman Urology identifies the virus type and extent of lesions through a biopsy and HPV PCR testing, and if needed, an endoscope checks inside the urethra, then treatment suited to the lesion site, such as flexible endoscopic laser therapy, is applied.In addition, even after treatment, a management plan that also accounts for the possibility of recurrence is provided through regular follow-up testing and an immune care program.

Choosing a hospital that moves step by step from diagnosis to treatment to aftercare lowers the risk of genital wart recurrence and gives more stable results.
The cost of genital wart treatment varies depending on the size, number, and location of the lesions and the treatment method.In general, laser treatment costs about 100,000–300,000 KRW, and extra costs may apply for many lesions or a wide affected area.The exact cost is explained after an exam confirms the lesions.
