One of the most common sexually transmitted diseases of our time is definitely genetal warts. The reason why genetal warts is so spread is that it is highly contagious and it can be easily transmitted through skin to skin contact. These contacts are usually sexual, as they involve vaginal, anal and oral sex. What are genetal warts exactly, though? Well, genetal warts are growths on the skin around the genital area and the anus. You will find genetal warts in women on or in the vagina, cervix, vulva and anus. Men usually develop genetal warts on or around the scrotum, anus, penis and urethra.

Genetal warts are caused by a virus called the human papilloma virus, or HPV. This virus is also to blame for other conditions, and if left untreated, it can cause ovarian or cervical cancer. This is why the symptoms of genetal warts should not be neglected. The most common genetal warts symptoms are bumps on the skin, which are flesh-colored and soft to the touch. You may compare the aspect of genetal warts to the surface of a cauliflower. Usually, a person develops more genetal warts in the same place, as there are few cases when only one wart appears.

However, an interesting fact about genetal warts is that many people are carrying the disease, but have no obvious symptoms. Even if they do, they may ignore them, because genetal warts are not painful. They are itchy and unpleasant, though. This is why getting tested for genetal warts and going to the gynecologist to see if you have this disease is mandatory. It is the best prevention measure you can take against genetal warts, and also the best thing you could do to avoid transmitting it to someone else.

Many people develop genetal warts because they become intimate with an infected person, who is not aware of the disease, so they do not use a condom. And speaking of this protection measure, using a condom every time you have sexual intercourse with someone is the best way to prevent not only genetal warts, but also pregnancies or other sexually transmitted diseases. Remember also that genetal warts can be removed, but you may not get rid of the virus your whole life.
