Genital wart is a sexually transmissible disease cause by human papillomavirus or HPV. It is scientifically known as condyloma acuminata or venereal warts. It usually infects the genital organs of both man and women. It can be acquired through skin-to-skin contact like having sex and through both oral and anal intercourse.

If affected with this disease, you may experience some genital wart symptoms. These symptoms may vary depending on how you are infected. If you are infected with this through sexual intercourse, genital wart symptoms will start to be visible in the genital organs. For men it commonly starts to grow in the tip of the penis. It may also starts to grow in the scrotum. For women genital wart symptoms may be visible first outside the labia or inside the womb, in uterus.

Genital wart symptoms sometimes occur unnoticed. Like other sexually transmissible disease, it sometimes takes months or years before the symptoms appear. These symptoms may be painless or itchy. Anogenital warts may be itchy, irritated and swollen. Flat lesions are also a possible symptom of genital warts.

Genital warts usually occur in groups. They can be treated as soon as symptoms start to appear. They are viral caused and therefore can be treated by an anti-viral crèmes and ointments. Although it may take time to cure it, surgical operation to remove it may be a fast solution, it is more expensive though. Should these symptoms appear, you should call on your Doctor immediately to see if it requires immediate attention before it starts to spread.
