Sexually transmitted lesions that may appear in the cervix, vulva urethra or rectum.
A wart in the genital or anal area, caused by a sexually transmitted virus.
Groups of growths in the genital area caused by infection with one or more of the human papillomaviruses (HPVs); a kind of sexually transmitted disease that needs to be dealt with quickly because its presence can increase the risk of some kinds of cancers, especially in the cervix but also sometimes in the penis. Genital warts also often grow during pregnancy, making urination and, later, delivery difficult. In addition, a child can be infected during the childbirth process, developing warts in the throat (laryngeal papillomatosis), a possibly life- threatening condition sometimes requiring corrective surgery.
Warts that develop in the genital area, including the urethra and the rectum, that are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Genital warts are one of the most common of the sexually transmitted diseases.
A wart of the genitalia, caused by strains of human papillomavirus (HPV) some of which are transmitted by sexual contact. In women, venereal warts, also known as condyloma acuminata, may be associated with cancer of the cervix and vulva. An estimated 1 million new cases of genital warts occur each year in the U.S., making genital warts the most common sexually transmitted illness. They commonly occur with other genital infections, and grow rapidly in the presence of heavy perspiration, poor hygiene, or the hormonal changes related to pregnancy.
Genital warts are flat or rounded bumps with a cauliflowerlike appearance that result from a human papilloma virus infection. They are highly contagious and take 1 to 8 months to appear after exposure. They may appear on the genitals, mouth, throat, or anus.
One of many strains of human papillomavirus (HPV) transmitted through sexual contact, causing hard, round bumps on the skin surrounding the genitalia.
Warts in the genital area that are caused by the human papilloma virus.
Genital warts are typically painless, fleshy growths that tend to be soft in texture. They can develop in and around the vaginal and anal areas, as well as on the penis. These warts are spread through sexual contact and are a result of certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). They typically manifest anywhere from a few weeks to up to 18 months following infection. While they can be removed using methods like cryosurgery or the medication podophyllin, they often have a tendency to reappear.
The presence of genital warts is unrelated to the risk of developing cervical cancer, as these two conditions arise from distinct types of HPV (human papillomavirus).
