Human papillomavirus is the virus that causes genital warts, which are a type of sexually transmitted infection (HPV). They are small growths that look like flesh and can show up in the genital area, the anus, or the throat. Genital warts can hurt and make you feel bad, but they can be treated and removed.

What causes warts on the genitalia?

The human papillomavirus (HPV), which is a sexually transmitted infection, causes genital warts. HPV is very contagious and can be spread through vaginal, anal, and oral sex.

Genital warts may not cause any symptoms, but they can be seen as small, flesh-colored growths on the genital area, anus, or throat. Some people with genital warts feel itchy, burned, and uncomfortable.

Options for Treatment: Genital warts can be treated and taken care of in a number of ways, such as:

Liquid nitrogen can be used to freeze and get rid of genital warts.

Surgical excision: Warts can be taken off by cutting them off in a hospital.

In electrosurgery, high-frequency electrical currents can be used to kill genital warts.
