Symptoms Of Genital Warts

Symptoms of Genital Warts, Their Cause, And Effective Treatment

Genital Warts are generally brought on by a virus known as HPV (Human Papilloma Virus), and the Symptoms Of Genital Warts in this early stage can be plain and obvious, or quite elusive. In men, Genital Warts can be found on the shaft of, and\or the base of the penis, within the urethra, and around the rectal area. In females, the Genital Warts can develop on the vaginal labia, inside the vagina, on the cervix, and around the rectal area. Symptoms of Genital Warts can appear from within a short a few weeks or several years.

For this reason, waiting for the obvious Symptoms of Genital Warts to manifest or for the physical presence of Genital Warts to appear is not recommended, as you can have HPV and spread it to others during such a time. What's more is that some Symptoms of Genital Warts can manifest without the warts appearing for quite some time, or it may be that the Genital Wartswarts are the first to show up before other symptoms do. Therefore, a regular check-up with your doctor is in order, to make sure that you haven't got the virus. The opinion of a medical expert is by far much better than making guesses about your present condition.

As mentioned before, the Symptoms of Genital Warts are brought about by Human Papilloma Virus, also known as HPV. This virus can cause a few conditions, Genital Warts (medically termed, "condylomata acuminatum") being one of them. This virus is usually spread through sexual activity, and so when Symptoms of Genital Warts do show up, this can often be misconstrued as a more serious sexually transmitted disease, causing anger, anxiety and confusion, and even emotional trauma to sufferers, their sexual partners and their family.

Much the same as with other sexually transmitted diseases, Human Papilloma Virus may not show any obvious symptoms right away, perhaps not for a long time. However even if it's is in the incubation stage, that is to say the having of the virus before any Symptoms of Genital Warts or such may appear, you can still spread the virus. Regular medical checkups are strongly recommended, especially if you have more than one sexual partner, and/or if you are not the only one in your partner's love life.

1. A burning sensation in the genital and rectal areas. In mild cases, warts tend to be painless for the most part, but in severe cases, and depending on where they manifest, they can be quite painful.

2. Pain, discomfort and itching in these areas - often confused for a simple rash.

3. In males, tiny bumps on the shaft and/or base of the penis which may resemble acne.

4. In females, increased vaginal fluid discharge.

5. An increase in moisture and dampness in the infected area.

6. Gray, pink or red-colored, cauliflower-shaped growths in your genital and anal area which can appear as being flat or raised. These might also grow in large clusters and expand into rather sizeable masses quite rapidly.

7. Discomfort, pain and/or bleeding during and after sexual intercourse. This can most often be more painful for women, as their genital warts may be within the interior of the vagina and on their cervix.

If you find that you have one or more of the above Symptoms of Genital Warts, you should immediately inform your partner and abstain from any sexual activity. Make an appointment visit your doctor with your partner. Early detection and Treatment of Genital Warts is the best way of preventing advancement of your condition, or spreading it to your partner. Just as with other elusive diseases, the chances of success in treatment are exponentially larger when it is detected in the early stages of development.
