What are Genital warts?
Genital warts, also called condylomata acuminata, are warts that appear as small bumps on or near the genitals or anus. Genital warts are a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) passed on by vaginal and anal sex, sharing sex toys and, rarely, by oral sex.
What causes genital warts?
Genital warts causes
Genital warts occur due to the human papillomavirus (HPV), for which there is no cure, so these warts may return after treatment.
You can get genital warts from:
- skin-to-skin contact, including vaginal and anal sex
- sharing sex toys
- oral sex, but this is rare
The virus can also be passed to a baby from its mother during birth, but this is rare.
Genital warts symptoms
Symptoms of Genital warts female
In women, genital warts can grow on the vulva, the walls of the vagina, the area between the external genitals and the anus, the anal canal, and the cervix. In men, they may occur on the tip or shaft of the penis, the scrotum, or the anus.
Genital warts can also develop in the mouth or throat of a person who has had oral sexual contact with an infected person.
The signs and symptoms of genital warts include:
- Small, flesh-colored, brown or pink swellings in your genital area
- A cauliflower-like shape caused by several warts close together
- Itching or discomfort in your genital area
- Bleeding with intercourse
- Genital warts can be so small and flat as to be invisible. Rarely, however, genital warts can multiply into large clusters in someone with a suppressed immune system.
Is there a cure for Genital warts?
Around 30% of genital warts will go away by themselves within 4 months of appearing, and around 90% of HPV infections will resolve themselves within 2 years of infection. However, this virus can have a latency period, meaning symptoms may appear or reoccur months or years after the initial infection.
Are Genital warts contagious? Can you get Genital warts from kissing?
You cannot get genital warts from:
- kissing
- sharing things like towels, cutlery, cups or toilet seats
Genital warts treatment
Treatment for genital warts needs to be prescribed by a doctor. The type of treatment you'll be offered depends on what the warts look like and where they are. The doctor or nurse will discuss this with you.
Treatments include:
- cream or liquid: you can usually apply this to the warts yourself a few times a week for several weeks, but in some cases you may need to go to a sexual health clinic where a doctor or nurse will apply it. These treatments can cause pain, irritation or a burning sensation.
- surgery: a doctor or nurse may cut, burn or use a laser to remove the warts. This can cause pain, irritation or scarring.
- freezing: a doctor or nurse freezes the warts. Sometimes the treatment is repeated several times. This can cause pain.
It may take weeks or months for treatment to work and the warts may come back. In some people, the treatment does not work.
There's no cure for genital warts, but it's possible for your body to fight the virus over time.
How to stop genital warts being passed on
You can stop genital warts from being passed on by:
- using a condom every time you have vaginal, anal or oral sex – but if the virus is in any in skin that's not protected by a condom, it can still be passed on
- not having sex while you're having treatment for genital warts
- not sharing sex toys; if you do share them, wash them or cover them with a new condom before anyone else uses them
Why genital warts come back
Genital warts are caused by a virus called human papillomavirus (HPV). There are many types of HPV.
The HPV virus can stay in your skin and warts can develop again.
Warts may go away without treatment, but this may take many months. You can still pass the virus on, and the warts may come back.

The marital crisis I was going through came to and end when Dr Isikolo got involved. Just like every other couples out there, we had our differences and I ensure I did my best to lead her right, provide for her and my kids and also protected them. We both made sacrifices to ensure we survived the union until she started acting up and deliberately had so many fights with me. The home became unpleasant for everyone else including my children. She was being manipulated by a friend who had been divorced and wanted to also ruin my marriage. I had to contact Dr Isikolo and he responded and did his best to end the issues. He restored the love and connection between us and I can tell now that whatever illusion my wife was under has been taking away and she is a better woman now. The result of what Dr Isikolo did for me that manifested after two days was what amazed me. I and my household remain grateful. I appeal to anyone who needs help to fix their relationships and marital problems to contact Dr Isikolo because the solution is sure.

Ik zat nog op de universiteit toen ik mijn verloofde ontmoette. We hebben een hele tijd een relatie gehad en samengewoond en onze relatie werd goedgekeurd door onze ouders. We konden het goed met elkaar vinden en alles was perfect. Hij reisde af voor een training en sindsdien is het nooit meer goed met ons gegaan. Hij had daar een ontmoeting met een dame en hij heeft de neiging veel te hebben toegewijd aan wat ze deelden en mij buiten beeld te hebben gelaten. Ik heb alles gedaan wat ik kon om het probleem op te lossen, maar niets werkte totdat ik over Dr. Isikolo hoorde. Ik nam contact met hem op en legde uit wat ik doormaakte en hij beloofde te helpen, wat hij deed zoals beloofd. Ik volgde de instructies op die hij me gaf en hij loste het probleem op dat ik had met mijn verloofde, en nu is hij terug bij mij en gaan we over een maand trouwen. Allemaal dankzij Dr. Isikolo. Neem nu contact met hem op als je hulp nodig hebt. e-mail: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com of sms hem via WhatsApp op +2348133261196

Hoe hij mensen over de hele wereld op wonderbaarlijke wijze heeft geholpen hun huwelijksleven te herstellen en verloren geliefden terug te krijgen Ik nam contact met hem op nadat ik zoveel getuigenissen van verschillende mensen had doorgenomen, hoe hij hielp mijn ex-geliefde terug te brengen, ik vertelde hem over mijn man die me ongeveer 8 maanden geleden in de steek had gelaten, en hij verliet het huis met alles wat ik had. Dr. Ayo zei me alleen dat ik moest glimlachen en gerust moest zijn, hij zal alles binnen slechts 24 uur afhandelen. Na de tweede dag belde mijn man me, ik was zo geschokt, ik koos de oproep en kon mijn oren niet geloven, hij was echt Hij smeekte me om hem te vergeven en deed beloftes aan de telefoon.
