How to Treat Genital Warts

Since Genital Warts is the most common sexually transmitted disease, many people are looking all over the Internet and asking “How Do You Get Genital Warts?”

Genital warts have many names, sometimes folks call it venereal warts.

Genital warts are growths or bumps contracted through sexual contact. They’re caused by certain types of the virus called human papillomavirus or HPV, which is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

Symptoms

Symptoms In Females: Genital warts most commonly appear in and around the vagina or anus or on the cervix.

Symptoms In Males: Genital warts most commonly appear on the penis, scrotum, groin, or thigh.

Genital warts can be raised or flat, small or large. Sometimes they’re clustered together in a cauliflower like shape. Most of the time, they’re flesh colored and painless. Sometimes, genital warts are so small and flat that they may not be seen by the human eye, right away.

It may take several months or years after infection for symptoms to appear. Some times there are no symptoms at all and you are still a carrier of the virus.

With females, the human papillomavirus can lead to changes in the cervix that may lead to cancer, so it’s important that it is diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.

With males, the human papillomavirus can also lead to or be at risk for cancer of the penis and the anus.
