Health issues

Genital warts are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Genital HPV infection is sexually transmitted but a lot of people affected by genital HPV infection may not have visible symptoms. Genital warts are usually small, soft, moist, flesh-colored bumps growing in clusters in the genital area. In women, they usually appear on the vulva, uterus, inside the vagina, or on the cervix. In men, genital warts can develop around the anus, on the penis, or in the scrotum area. The warts can also develop in the mouth of a person who has had oral sexual contact with an infected individual.
