Understanding Genital Warts
Genital warts are a specific type of wart that appear in the genital area. Recognizable and sometimes referred to as venereal warts or condylomata acuminata, they result from a skin infection caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). It’s important to note that one can have an HPV infection without visible genital warts. Typically transmitted through sexual contact, many individuals may remain unaware of their infection until the warts grow larger and more noticeable.
Transmission and Types
Warts are viral infections that spread through direct contact, including touching and skin-to-skin interaction. While common warts often appear on hands and feet, genital warts are a distinct form. Different strains of HPV cause these variations, so an individual with warts on their hands or feet will not spread them to the genitals or vice versa.
Appearance and Spread
In women, genital warts can manifest both inside and outside the vaginal area. If a woman engages in anal intercourse, warts may also appear around the anus. The same applies to men who have anal sex, potentially developing warts in the anal region.
Genital warts often remain confined to a specific area for some time, and although they sometimes disappear on their own, they can also expand, forming larger clusters. If untreated, they may become crusty and uncomfortable. Importantly, genital warts can be transmitted to a partner during oral sex.
Treatment and Protection
Medical treatments and prescription medications can effectively manage genital warts, but if left untreated, they can become problematic for both the individual and their partner. If you engage in sexual contact with someone who has genital warts, the likelihood of contracting them is high, with visible symptoms typically appearing one to three months after exposure.
To protect yourself, avoid sexual activity with unfamiliar partners or those you cannot trust to be free of genital warts. For more detailed information, visit [this resource on genital warts](http://www.all-about-genital-wart.com/).
