Understanding Genital Warts
Warts in the Genital region are also called ‘condylomata acuminata’, they are sexually transmitted and are caused by a virus called human papilloma, HPV. If you have sexual contact with someone who carries HPV this is when you are at in danger of contracting the virus. Some people regrettably will have the virus and not be aware as it can take a few months before the warts surface.
Warts at the start become visible as a small raised bumps surrounding the wet areas of the genitals. Afterward they start to be more prominent and look like a little cauliflower around the size of a pin head with a fleshy colour.
In females warts usually develop in the vagina, and look like small pink bumps. They can be itchy or if left untreated and develop they can even give off a bad smell and in some cases bleed after sexual intercourse. It is always a good idea to get a professional medical opinion when you a woman assumes they have warts, as they can be dangerous if they grow on the cervix
For males Genital warts are found on the penis and scrotum and may occur beneath the foreskin on men who haven’t been circumcised. They are in general found in masses which are raised and rough and at the nastiest they will be clustered with a pearly appearance and a slightly darker surface.
Genital warts can be irritating and cause an uncomfortable itchy sensation, however they can be painless in certain instances. In severe cases the urinary tract can be obstructed which might cause bleeding, also an excessive amount of discharge may appear. The more time the virus is left without treatment then the worse it may become, as warts will multiply and the condition will become more severe. It is, without a doubt of real importance to discover a way to treat them successfully.
A doctor will use a solution that they rub into the suspected skin area, to test for genital warts and presence of the HPV.

If this does not resolve the warts outbreak, then other treatments will be resorted to.
Some of the more common genital warts treatments are, liquid nitrogen for freezing the warts themselves, which is usually only used in advanced cases, as is burning the warts off with laser treatment.
