"Genital warts"

About: Sexual Health Services - North Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent (Open Clinic)

(as the patient),

Well I was having a bath when i noticed something white on the end of my penis when i pulled my forskin back to clean it me thinking it was just something on there tryed to wash it off. Then i noticed 4 more little white things half way down me penis too so i know somthing wasnt ok. I rang up the cobridge sexual health service they got me in straight away. Was very nervous when i arrived because loads of people told me storys about genital warts. Like you could pass them on by shaking hands with people (which I now know is not true)

The nurses at cobridge sexual health service where very friendly and respectful staff very reassuring about the whole situation

They frozen them off which i though was going to be really painfully and to be honest it wasnt to bad at all had it go back 3 times to repeat the process. Some people have to go back more times than that i was just lucky they said.

My advice to anyone who is reading this is to always use a condom when having sex with someone because you never know what they got. Get checked every so often just to be safe.
