Procedures for Women

Laser conization is used to treat cervical dysplasia by using a laser. Conization is the excision of a cone-shaped or cylindrical wedge from the cervix. A highly concentrated ray of light emits heat with the ability to scrape off the tissue housing abnormal cells, the Cleveland Clinic explains. The process is of a longer duration than the other procedures and is usually combined with treatments such as the cold-knife method, which reduces the length of the surgery

HPV related lesions (genital warts) that have been screened as pre-malignant and do not extend into the endocervical canal are treated with vaporization conization, another type of laser treatment, according to Nyirjesy.

Cold-knife conization utilizes a scalpel to remove abnormal cells. The disadvantage is that it usually leads to more amounts of bleeding than other treatments available.

Procedures for Men

In men, genital warts caused by HPV are known to be precursors to cancer because they usually develop from the high-risk strands of HPV. It is advised that the genital warts are removed as a precautionary step against the possible development of cancer. Even removing the HPV-related lesions does not guarantee that there won't be a recurrence, because there is no cure for HPV.

Laser vaporization is also used for men in order to rid the body of the genital warts.

Certain creams and/ or injections of interferon alpha are administered by doctors as a treatment for the lesions.

Cryotherapy is used to freeze the genital warts off.

Electrocautery is a treatment that essentially burns off warts with an electric current.
