How do Genital Warts occur?

Genital warts are transmitted from person to person by sexual activity. The warts are usually first seen 1 to 6 months and in some cases years after you have been infected with HPV. Take note though—you can be infected without having any visible warts.


HPV is transmitted through skin-to-skin contact during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. HPV is not passed through blood, semen, or other body fluids. Since it's not passed through blood you will be able to donate blood. A person can be infectious even if no symptoms are present, but the risk is probably greatest if contact is made with the warts themselves. The area most prone to infection are the thin mucous membranes of the vagina, vulva, penis, and scrotum.

Women who give birth can sometimes pass the warts to their child. There is little or no risk of catching HPV through towels or other inanimate objects.

What are Genital Warts?

Genital warts (a.k.a. venereal warts) are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), a family of more than one hundered different types of viruses that cause warts on hands, feets and genitals. The types of virus that most often cause genital warts are called HPV-6 and HPV-11. According to the CDC, genital warts are the most common sexually transmitted disease in the U.S.

Warts can appear in various locations, including the penis and scrotum in men and the vulva, urethra, cervix, and vagina in women. Warts in men and women can also appear in the area around the anus. A person who has had oral sex with an infected person can get warts in the mouth or throat.

They look like fleshy, grayish white or pinkish white cauliflowerlike growths; others are smaller or more subtle—sometimes little more than a bump. However, there are some that are as small as 1 millimeter in diameter and may not be easily noticed.

One of the most common place for men to see an outbreak of genital warts is inside or outside the penis. The problems associated with this formation of genital warts are most often due to the elimination of urine and the burning sensation that it can cause. Side effects of genital warts are painful intercourse and the inability to maintain an erection. 

The most common place for genital warts in women is the cervix. If left untreated there is a chance that the genital warts could lead to increased problems and other diseases such as some type of cancer in the sexual organs. If the genital warts that are in the cervix are not removed promptly they will begin to turn themselves into a form of cancer that is largely untreatable. The tissue surrounding the genital warts can cause damage. There can be severe scarring that is associated with the removal of genital warts in these areas on women, but since the cervix is deep within the vagina it is largely unnoticeable to anyone.

You should see a doctor immediately if you have an outbreak to have the genital warts removed properly. They should never be allowed to grow any bigger than they first appear. The doctor should discuss removal methods with you. One method is freezing the genital warts at extremely cold temperatures and then pulling them off. There will be some some type of discomfort but it should go away quickly.

Do not let the genital warts grow and the disease spread. There is a risk of sexual side effects in men and women. One effect is painful intercourse which is caused by the skin coming into contact with the genital warts and thus causing an irritation. The area on and around the genital warts can be very sensitive and above all else, painful if touched or rubbed. Never attempt to pull or push on the genital warts because that will hurt!
