A member asked:
Is cauterization of genital warts effective?and how many percent sure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Cauterization of a wart is quite effective at destroying that tissue. If the entire wart is treated, it will be gone. However, normal tissue around the wart can be infected with the wart virus and can eventually develop more warts. There are better treatment for warts than cautery.
