Genital Wart Removal in Gangnam, Seoul, discreet and private
Genital warts (condyloma) are small skin growths on or around the vulva, vagina or anus, caused by low-risk types of HPV. At Sinsoe Women's Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, a female OB-GYN confirms the diagnosis and removes or treats the warts, choosing between freezing, laser or a prescription cream depending on their size, number and location. Warts can come back, so follow-up is part of the plan. An English-speaking coordinator handles everything discreetly.

The basics
What are genital warts?
Genital warts are soft, skin-coloured or slightly darker bumps. They can be flat or raised, single or in clusters that look a little like cauliflower. They are usually painless but can itch or bleed.
They are caused by low-risk HPV types, most often 6 and 11, passed on by skin-to-skin sexual contact. These types do not cause cervical cancer.
Warts may appear weeks or months after contact, so it is often impossible to know when or from whom you caught them. Treatment removes the warts you can see, while your immune system slowly controls the virus.
What to look for Common signs of genital warts
- Small bumps on the vulva, around the vaginal opening or anus
- Clusters with a rough or cauliflower-like surface
- Itching, discomfort or light bleeding
- Warts inside the vagina or on the cervix, found during an exam
Bumps that are not warts
- Normal skin features such as small papillae and glands can look similar. An exam tells them apart
- Painful blisters or sores may be herpes. Get STD testing
Who needs care
When to have genital warts checked in Seoul
Never try to remove a wart yourself with products meant for hand warts. They can burn sensitive skin.
Tell your doctor if you are
- Pregnant or planning pregnancy
- Living with a condition that weakens immunity
- Treated before and the warts came back
- Due for a Pap smear or HPV test
Get checked soon if a bump:
- Grows quickly or looks different from the rest
- Is hard, fixed or turns into an open sore
- Bleeds without being touched
These are uncommon with warts. Your doctor may take a small sample to rule out other skin conditions.
Treatment options
How genital warts are treated
There is no single best method. Your doctor chooses based on how many warts you have, where they are and your preferences.
Freezing (cryotherapy)
Liquid nitrogen freezes the wart, which then falls off over 1 to 2 weeks. Often needs a few sessions.
Small, few wartsLaser removal
A laser removes the wart tissue precisely, usually with local anesthetic. Useful for larger or many warts.
Larger or many wartsPrescription cream
A cream you apply at home for several weeks to help the skin and immune system clear the warts.

Quick answers
Genital warts in Seoul: common questions
Where can I get genital warts removed in Gangnam with an English-speaking doctor?
Sinsoe Women's Clinic at 537 Nonhyeon-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul treats genital warts with female OB-GYNs and an English-speaking coordinator. It is a 4-minute walk from Eonju Station Exit 7 (Line 9). Book on WhatsApp at +82-10-9517-5719 or walk in during clinic hours.
Do genital warts cause cancer?
The HPV types that cause most warts are low-risk and do not cause cervical cancer. You can still carry other types, so keep up your screening.
Is wart removal painful?
Freezing stings for a moment. For laser, a local anesthetic numbs the skin first.
Will the warts come back?
They can, especially in the first few months. Follow-up visits treat any new ones.
How much does genital wart removal cost?
It depends on the number and size of the warts and the method. The coordinator gives an estimate after your consultation.
Should my partner be checked?
Yes, if they have any bumps. Partners often share the virus without visible warts.
Can I have sex after treatment?
Wait until the skin has fully healed, usually 1 to 2 weeks. Condoms lower the risk of passing on HPV.
Can tourists be treated without Korean insurance?
Yes. Visitors are seen as self-pay patients. Bring your passport.
