Hi im 12 weeks pregnant and just discovered that i have genital warts on my vagina, i asked my gynae about this but he advised me that he cannot treat them during pregnancy only after the birth he can treat them, are there no other options?

Can ask dermatology: Genital warts usually don't cause complications in pregnancy, so a doctor may decide to not treat warts at all during pregnancy. The warts may grow bigger during pregnancy but can be treated afterwards. However, if a doctor decides on removal, there are safe methods of removing genital warts during pregnancy that can be used such as freezing (cryo) or laser treatments.
