If you notice some flesh colored skin protrusions (sometimes they are even grayish in color) in the general genital and anal area of your body, there is a strong possibility that these are genital warts. Genital warts can occur for both men and women and they medically referred to as venereal warts or condyloma acuminate. They are by and large the most common sexually-transferred virally caused disease and the culprit is called HPV or human papilloma virus. Most of the time genital warts are unseen because of their size and their location and if detected, they are oftentimes ignored.
The huge chunk of genital warts occurrence is on individuals between the ages of 17 to 33 obviously due to heightened sexual activity and since genital warts are extremely communicable (more than 50% chance of successfully transmitting it on the initial sexual contact), people who are sexually active will at some point get infected with it. There are rare cases where children also show manifestations of genital warts but this is mainly due to direct manual transmission such as washing with the bare hands and other forms of physical contact.
If you begin notice growths similar to genital warts, it is advisable to have yourself examined by a medical professional since statistics dictate that around one out of five people who have genital warts will also have other accompanying sexually transmitted diseases. Yes, genital warts are practically almost harmless (though they can become annoyingly bothersome because of their itchiness) at best but the virus that causes it, human papilloma virus is the leading cause of cervical cancer in women.

While genital herpes is mainly brought about by increased sexual contact without proper protection, multiple sexual partners, and engaging in sex at a young age, these warts can also be caused in some way by the use of birth control pills. However, do not confuse genital warts with the common warts because they are caused by different viral strains and genital warts begin to develop usually in around three months after the sexual contact.
For women, genital warts appear like tiny cauliflowers and are usually found in the moist regions of the outer vagina and the labia minora. At times,there will be visible lesions on the outer portions of the woman’s genitals and when this manifests, you have to immediately see a doctor because of the possibility that they may have already infected the cervix and the rectal area.
