What are genital warts, and what do they look like ?
Genital warts are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and appear as small, flesh-colored or gray growths. They are common in the genital and anal regions and can occasionally spread into the anal canal. Left untreated, they may lead to complications, including anal cancer.
Are Warts contagious ?
Genital warts are sometimes referred to as Condyloma Acuminata or venereal warts. They represent the most common sexually-transmitted disease caused by a virus. The warts are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). Infection with genital warts may not be obvious especially in women. Genital warts can spread during vaginal or anal sex, and by sharing towels and/or sex toys. But you don’t need to have penetrative sex to pass the infection on because HPV is spread by skin-to-skin contact.
What should I do if I get them ?
You should not use wart creams that are available over the counter because they are designed to only treat warts on the hands or verrucae. If you are diagnosed with genital warts, it is recommended you do not have sex, including anal and oral sex, until your genital warts have fully healed. This will help prevent you passing the infection on to others. It will also help speed up your recovery.
