In the unfortunate circumstances of being infected with the high-risk type of HPV, and getting cancerous or precancerous lesions, the following treatment choices are available. [7]

Laser therapy

A directed beam of laser is used to kill the cancer or dysplastic cells. It can also be used in cases of unapproachable warts within the vagina or cervix, when the common treatment plans fail. The laser provides heat to the target area, which then results in the cell death. There can be scarring as a side-effect of laser on the surrounding nerves.
