Removal of Anal Warts
Anal warts are small, wart-like growths around the anus caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). We remove them on an outpatient basis under local anaesthetic, using laser, Surgitron or cryotherapy depending on the findings, and the procedure can usually be completed in a single visit. At the Dermarevolta clinic in Bratislava, they are treated directly by a proctologist, who also assesses the anal canal. HPV does not clear from the body, so we invite you for follow-up check-ups to catch any new growths early.
Procedures we perform
Removing anal warts is not the only step we take with this condition, and it works best as part of a well-considered treatment plan. That's why we always start with a proctological examination to check the number and extent of the warts and whether they also involve the anal canal, choosing the appropriate method only once we have these findings. Below you'll find an overview of the procedures we perform at the Dermarevolta clinic in Bratislava for anal and perianal warts. The prices shown are taken directly from our price list, and we draw up an exact treatment plan only after an in-person examination.
Proctological Examination and Findings
The basis of the whole process. The proctologist assesses the number and size of the warts, checks whether they extend into the anal canal, and distinguishes them from other growths. Based on the findings, they then recommend the most suitable removal method.
Laser Removal of Warts
Precise removal of growths using a laser that targets the affected tissue while sparing the surrounding skin. Suitable for multiple or larger warts; the procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under local anaesthetic.
Surgitron Removal (Radiosurgery)
The Surgitron radiofrequency device removes warts with minimal bleeding and gentle healing of the surrounding skin. We choose this method depending on the location and extent of the findings directly at the anus.
Cryotherapy for Anal Warts
Removal of growths by freezing with liquid nitrogen. According to our price list, this is an accessible option for smaller or isolated warts, usually requiring several sessions spaced apart.
Examination of the Anal Canal for HPV
If warts are also present inside the anal canal, surface treatment alone is not enough. The proctologist therefore examines the anal canal so that no growths are missed that could otherwise remain and become a source of recurrence.
Follow-up Check-ups and Recurrence Management
HPV does not clear from the body after a single treatment, so warts can return. That's why we monitor the area at follow-up appointments after the procedure and treat any new growths early, while they are still small and easier to remove.
Cost of Removing Anal Warts
We state our prices in advance, and you pay directly at the clinic after the procedure, with no hidden fees. The final amount depends on the number and extent of the warts and on the removal method chosen, so we can only confirm it after an in-person proctological examination. Below you'll find indicative prices from our price list. A deposit is payable before the planned procedure, which is later deducted from the total cost of treatment.
Gergely Kremeshnyy
Proctologist and surgeon specialising in the rectum and surrounding areaThe removal of anal and perianal warts is led by Gergely Kremeshnyy, a proctologist and surgeon specialising in conditions of the rectum, anal canal and perianal area. He completed his degree in General Medicine at Uzhhorod National University and, in practice, focuses on proctology, rectal surgery and minimally invasive procedures for these conditions.
This means you have both the diagnosis and the removal itself carried out by the same specialist in this area. When treating warts, he places particular emphasis on a discreet approach, a thorough assessment of the anal canal, and clear explanations of why follow-up check-ups matter and how to reduce the risk of the warts returning.
„Pri kondylómoch nejde len o to výrastky odstrániť. Dôležité je skontrolovať aj análny kanál a potom oblasť sledovať, pretože vírus v tele zostáva. Práve preto majú kontroly zmysel, dokážeme nové kondylómy zachytiť skoro.“ – Gergely Kremeshnyy
When to consider seeing a proctologist
- You have felt or noticed small wart-like growths around the anus that are increasing in number or size.
- The area around the anus is itchy or tingling, or you notice slight bleeding after a bowel movement or when wiping.
- You have been diagnosed with an HPV infection or have warts elsewhere and would like the anal area checked as well.
- You have treated the growths yourself with over-the-counter products, but they keep coming back or increasing in number.
- You have had genital warts in the past and want the area monitored so that any recurrence is caught early.
- You are not sure whether it's warts, haemorrhoids or another type of growth, and you want a clear diagnosis from a specialist.
Why trust us with the removal of your warts
It's handled by a proctologist
At our clinic, warts are removed by a proctologist who also assesses the anal canal itself. This gives you the assurance that no growths inside are missed, as these are often a common source of recurrence.
Several methods, chosen according to findings
We don't rely on a single technique. Depending on the extent of the condition, we choose laser, Surgitron or cryotherapy, so the procedure is best suited to the number and location of your warts.
Outpatient and discreet
The procedure is carried out on an outpatient basis under local anaesthesia, and you go home the same day. We approach this sensitive topic with respect, empathy and without unnecessary awkwardness.
Emphasis on follow-up check-ups
HPV does not disappear from the body, which is why we regularly monitor the area after the procedure. This allows us to catch new growths while they are still small and reduces the risk of a more extensive recurrence.
Clear pricing in advance
You'll know the indicative price before the procedure, and we'll confirm the final amount after the examination, depending on the extent of the findings. This helps you avoid uncertainty and any hidden fees.
One specialist for the whole area
The examination, the removal itself and the follow-up check-ups are all carried out by the same doctor specialising in this area. You won't need to explain your situation repeatedly, and the whole process flows smoothly from one step to the next.
Frequently asked questions about anal warts
Yes, warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is transmitted mainly through sexual contact, including anal and oral sex. Transmission is also possible through skin-to-skin contact in the genital and anal area. For this reason, we also recommend that your partner be examined, and that you follow the proctologist's recommendations after the procedure.
The procedure is carried out on an outpatient basis under local anaesthesia, and you go home the same day. Depending on the findings, we choose one of the following methods:
- laser, for multiple or larger growths,
- Surgitron (radiosurgery), which allows for gentler healing,
- cryotherapy, for smaller or isolated warts.
Before the procedure, the proctologist also examines the anal canal to make sure no growths inside are missed.
Yes, they can, because the procedure itself does not remove the HPV virus from the body. We remove the visible growths, but the virus may persist in the skin and can form new warts over time. This is exactly why we monitor the area during follow-up check-ups after the procedure and treat any new growths early, while they are still small.
These are three different conditions. Warts are viral, wart-like growths on the skin around the anus, haemorrhoids are enlarged vascular cushions (you can read about their treatment on our page about haemorrhoid removal), and an anal polyp is a growth of the mucous membrane inside the anal canal. A proctologist can distinguish between them precisely during an examination, as the treatment for each differs.
No, the procedure itself is carried out under local anaesthesia, so it is practically painless. Afterwards, the area may be sensitive for a few days, which can be eased with standard painkillers and sitz baths. We will give you detailed aftercare advice at the time of the procedure.
The sooner, the better, ideally as soon as the first growths appear. Small, isolated warts are easier to remove than extensive findings, which, if left untreated, often multiply and spread. If you're not sure what type of growth you have, an examination will give you a clear diagnosis and next steps.
