Genital warts treatment for women, caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), can be treated effectively, although the virus itself remains in the body. Treatment options include topical medications, such as imiquimod or podofilox, which can be applied directly to the warts. Cryotherapy, which involves freezing the warts, is another common method, often performed in a clinical setting.While these treatments can remove visible warts, they do not eliminate the underlying HPV infection, meaning that warts can recur, and the virus can still be transmitted to others.
