Genital Warts

Genital warts is an infection caused by a virus called the human papilloma virus (HPV). The warts are also called venereal warts. These warts are similar to those found in other areas of the body. However, genital warts are transmitted through sexual contact.

Some genital warts can be big and obvious to the sight. Others might be hidden in certain genital areas of the body, like in the vagina.

If left untreated, genital warts can also lead to cervical cancer (at the opening of the womb or uterus). Genital warts can be a serious disease. It is important to watch for signs or symptoms and help prevent and spread this disease.
