Is genital warts curable?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Genital warts can be treated, but they can't be cured. You're removing the warts, but you'll still have the virus that causes them. The virus may go away at some point on its own, but there's no way to know for sure. Some people will get warts again and others won't.
