Genital Warts Treatment in India

Karan Garcia, a 28-year-old software engineer, first noticed small, painless bumps on his penis about three months ago. Initially dismissing them as ingrown hairs, he grew increasingly anxious as they multiplied. Karan, who is single and active in the dating scene, felt a deep sense of shame and fear of judgment. He finally confided in his primary care doctor, who referred him to a dermatologist. The dermatologist, Dr. Evans, was calm and non-judgmental, confirming the diagnosis of genital warts. She explained that HPV is extremely common and recommended cryotherapy (freezing) as an effective first-line treatment. During the procedure, Karan felt brief, sharp stings of cold, but it was manageable. Over the next week, the treated areas formed scabs and fell off. While he knows the virus may remain and warts could recur, the visible lesions are gone. Emotionally, Karan moved from panic and self-blame to relief and acceptance. The empathetic care he received helped him understand this was a common medical issue, not a moral failing, allowing him to regain his confidence.
