Question: urethral warts
| wintermute455

Hello,
I am a 29 years old male.
I am diagnosed with hpv one and a half years ago. There was one wart and my doctor removed it from my scrotum. But almost 1 year later I discovered some bumps inside my uretral opening. After I had seen my doctor, he identified them as urethral warts and recommend me to have a systoscopy operation to check the nonvisible parts of urethra. I had the operatio. The non visible parts of urethra was clean, but now after almost 5 months II noticed a bump that looks like another wart. My question is there any alternative threatments for urethral warts, rather than surgical operation? And should I have a systoscopy again?
Thank you.
