Genital warts are warts that are
found on the buttocks or on the vagina. If you find small bumps on your private
areas, that you don’t know what they are, they could very well be genital warts.
Genital warts are spread through sex, anal sex, and regular intercourse and
through oral sex. If you have had unprotected sex with someone that you really
don’t know, it can take up to three months for genital warts to show up. Even if
you don’t have sex, and you have just oral sex, you can still end up with
genital warts, but around your mouth.
While it can be difficult and embarrassing to see a doctor, these warts are not
going to go away on their own. With proper medication, you will be able to get
rid of genital warts. Genital warts are contagious just as a cold could be. If
you have genital warts, your doctor or nurse is going to be able to tell what
they are just by looking at them. If you are a woman and you have genital warts,
you should see your gynecologist to determine if you have them inside, where
your uterus and cervix are located as well. Women are at risk to have genital
warts spread the to portions of the inner body where they can spread faster, and
grow to be painful on the cervix or on the organs.
If you meet someone new, and you don’t know if they have a sexual disease, it is
for your own protection that you don’t have sex, of any type. If you are able to
use a condom at least you are somewhat protected, but that is not always a
guarantee as well.
Genital warts are spread by a virus that is known as HPV. HPV is also the same
virus that will give you warts on your hands, feet, on the elbows or knees, but
the HPV virus that gives genital warts is a little different strain. The same
noticeable types of warts you see on your hands, that get crusty and seem to be
puss filled are the types of warts that will be found on the genitals. If you
have genital warts, you can spread them to someone by intercourse, by oral sex,
and by anal sex. Genital warts are something you can get rid of, but only with
the proper treatment and antibiotics.
What you should know is that with treatment genital warts will disappear, but
they can resurface and come back even after treatment, which is why it is so
very important to avoid having sex with someone you don’t know, and avoid having
sex with another person if you do have genital warts. You can pass along genital
warts to another person, even if you don’t have the symptoms or the warts
appearing on your skin. Be sure that you know and trust a person before having
sex with someone. If you do find that you have genital warts, seek treatment to
get your genital warts under control.
