Genital Warts

What are the symptoms?

The virus causing this sexually transmitted infection exhibits weird and irregular behavior. Due to this, the outbreak of symptoms of this infection cannot be predicted and makes it very uncertain. The infected person can house the virus for months and sometimes years but might never experience the outbreak of symptoms. In most cases, it is possible that this virus might never show any outbreak of symptoms during the entire lifetime of the infected person. A few people might experience mild symptoms once in a while. Very few infected people might experience frequent outbreak of symptoms.

Genital warts might vary in nature from person to person. They can appear as a single wart or might appear in groups. They can be smooth or rough, large or small, itchy or itch less and usually painless. The warts can appear internally or externally. In women, the warts can appear deep inside the vagina and inside the urethra in men.

What are the causes?

The main cause of genital warts is the human papilloma virus which is transmitted through sexual contact. The two strain of HPV namely HPV-6 and HPV-11 are the main agents causing this sexually transmitted infection. Both the strains are considered to be “low risk” which implies that their cancer-causing potential risk is very low. Other strains of the HPV exist which can cause cervical cancer.

Genital warts are spread through unprotected sexual contact – vaginal, oral or anal sex with an HPV infected person. People who do not indulge in safe sex or who have multiple sexual partners are at the highest risk. Sex without condoms is the most suitable condition for the HPV transmission.

Are there any risks associated with genital warts?

Genital warts are not dangerous or fatal. They can be unpleasant and uncomfortable since they occur in the genital area of men and women. If the warts bleed frequently and uncontrollably, it is necessary for the infected person to seek medical attention immediately. Also, if the urethra is blocked to the extent that process of urination is affected, the wart has to be removed immediately using effective genital wart treatment.

Genital warts can lead to cervical cancer is a myth. The two strains causing this sexually transmitted infection are non-carcinogenic elements. However, the existence of two or more strains of HPV simultaneously is quite possible. If you are still concerned about your warts developing into cervical cancer, you can contact your doctor to get a complete diagnosis done to feel relieved.

Can genital warts be treated?

Genital warts can be treated effectively and the treatments can be surgical and medical. The warts can be removed completely but the virus cannot be cured or removed. Genital warts cure is still unknown in medical science and the virus remains inside the host forever. This immortal virus has the ability to cause future outbreak of symptoms.

Over-the-counter treatments for genital warts are not recommended since the condition of warts has to be analyzed before application to the highly sensitive genital area. Several creams for genital wart treatment are available and highly effective. Burning of the warts using the chemical trichloroacetic acid can be done only by an experienced doctor and should not be attempted by self.
