I would imagine, niceguy, with my experience of the NHS, everything will be done to make things as pain free as absolutely possible. You might even have a nice nurse holding your hand. Best done so get it out of the way. All the best, annieseed

Don't worry, niceguy, you will be given a local anaesthetic.

NHS Choices - Excision of genital warts:

Excision, in which warts are cut away, is sometimes recommended to treat small, hardened warts, particularly where this is a combination of smaller warts that have joined together to form a sort of cauliflower shape.

At the start of the procedure you will be given a local anaesthetic to numb the area of skin around the wart. The wart will then be cut away with a surgical scalpel, and the remaining incision sealed with stitches.

Excision can cause scarring so it may not be suitable for very large warts. The area of skin from where the wart was removed will be sore and tender for around one to three weeks.

You should avoid having sex until the area of skin around the wart has fully healed.
