Genital warts are soft, flesh-colored or gray growths that appear on the genital areas, including the vulva, vagina, cervix, penis, and surrounding areas, as well as the anus. They are caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is a sexually transmitted infection. Genital warts can vary in size and may occur singly or in clusters, sometimes resembling cauliflower. They are often asymptomatic but can cause discomfort, itching, or irritation in some individuals. While genital warts can resolve on their own, treatment options include topical medications, cryotherapy (freezing), laser therapy, or surgical removal to reduce symptoms and transmission risk. Vaccination against HPV can help prevent the strains that cause genital warts and other HPV-related diseases. Regular medical check-ups and safe sex practices are essential for managing risks associated with HPV.
