GlossaryGenital Warts

growths on genital areas caused by human papillomavirus (HPV)

Genital warts, also known as Condylomata Acuminata, are growths or bumps that appear on the genital and anal areas, caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). They are a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) and can vary in size and appearance, sometimes forming clusters that resemble a cauliflower. While they can be asymptomatic, they may cause discomfort, itching, or pain. Treatment options include topical medications, cryotherapy, and surgical removal, but the underlying HPV infection may persist.
