Genital Warts

Genital warts or venereal warts are a common sexually transmitted disease/infection (STD/STI), which is caused by a virus called human papillomavirus (HPV). These are soft growths which develop on the genitals of a person.

Genital warts in men commonly appear on areas like:

  • Thighs
  • Penis
  • Groin
  • Scrotum
  • Areas around or inside the anus

Genital warts in women commonly appear on areas like:

  • Cervix
  • Inside/outside the vagina

Even though women are more susceptible to this disease, it can affect men as well. Most genital warts can be cured, but these complications are can make a comeback unless your doctor is able to identify the underlying cause of this infection.

In this regard, it is imperative to prevent and timely treat this infection.

If you have genital warts symptoms like burning, itching, bleeding, or vaginal discharge, you should immediately check with your doctor in order to understand the treatment options available as well as work with your doctor to identify the best treatment option for yourself.
