your doctor can apply a solution called trichlor acetic acid to the words to make them disappear. This does cause some irritation and burning up the site temporarily.

I meant that an over the counter freeze is NOT a good idea unless it can be done by a professional.

I agree with Dr. Tanya about seeing your gynecologist and making sure you do not have a different infection to make sure the baby is safe, and it sounds like you are already getting a blood test. I do not think an over the counter freeze is a good idea due to location, you should definitely have a professional remove them. If they are mostly external on your labia or anus, I do not think removing them will be difficult at this stage of your pregnancy.

After you have your baby, I would consider looking for anti-viral foods and herbs as part of your diet, as long as they are safe for breastfeeding, as warts are caused by a virus. If your doctor told you that you don't have warts, and that it is bacterial vaginosis, then I would look being treated conventionally, as well as looking at local therapies that change vaginal pH. Foods that you eat can also change vaginal pH, which makes it hard for the bacteria to grow and can be complementary to the medication your doctor gives you to prevent a recurrence.

Tri Chloro Acetic acid - applied directly to the warts will remove them and decrease the pain almost immediately.

Your doctor can do in the office. Take a pain med (NSAID) before the procedure.

There is no cure for genital warts. However they can be treated with surgical excision or topical compounds
Generally local use of carbon dioxide snow is helpful. It kills the virus and those warts then fall off. The snow is not available over the counter and mostly a Primary Care Physician or a Dermatologist should be contacted.

Unfortunately this will be difficult to treat at this stage of your pregnancy. I question whether these are genital warts. Generally they are not painful. Does your ob doctor know you have these? When you mention they are painful I am concerned for another kind of infection that could pose a risk during vaginal delivery. I would recommend you see your physician right away.if these are genital warts they can be treated in many ways, but all require the help of your physician, including cream, freezing, laser treatments, or a topical medication the doctor can put on them.
