Final answer:

During pregnancy, genital wart treatments that should not be used include Podophyllin, Imiquimod, and Podofilox.

Step-by-step explanation:

During pregnancy, genital wart treatments that should NOT be used include:

  1. Podophyllin: This topical medication is not recommended for use during pregnancy as it may be absorbed into the bloodstream and harm the developing fetus.
  2. Imiquimod: This topical medication is also not recommended for use during pregnancy as its safety has not been established.
  3. Podofilox: Another topical medication that should be avoided during pregnancy due to limited safety information.

Cryotherapy (freezing) can be a safe treatment option during pregnancy, but it should only be performed by a healthcare professional who is experienced in performing the procedure on pregnant individuals.
