For the last 2 months I have been having chryotherapy to treat my genital warts. Will the virus ever be cleared from my body?

Or if the warts have not occured for a long time, is there still a chance of them reoccuring? Also is there anything I can do to improve my immune system to the virus?

Dear em4123,

Whilst it varies from person to person, the vast majority of people will clear the wart virus one to two years after the warts have gone. 90% of people never get them again, but some will get recurrences during this time before the virus is cleared.

Warts can be stubborn to treat, but at the end of the day they are completely harmless. They do not cause cancer or infertility. They are just a cosmetic nuisance and are incredibly common!

Kind regards.
