Herpes Genital Warts General Alerting signs
Genitals warts are one of those
things that you simply do not speak of in public and likely
don't even think about unless your physician brings up the
herpes genital warts subject. Genital warts are caused by the
human Papilloma virus (Hpv) which just happens to be closely
linked as the cause of many cases of cervical cancer as well as
other types of cancer in the genitals. This virus is transmitted
sexually so you have to have had direct sexual contact with
someone infected and not everyone shows signs of genital warts.
It is so important to trade sexual histories with potential
partners so as to avoid contracting any sexually transmitted
disease (STD) like genital warts or the genital herpes. In
addition, protective sex with a condom is also paramount in
avoiding the Hpv virus. However, not everyone knows they have
these warts and could inadvertently pass along the infection to
you, so you should know the symptoms of genital warts in case
they ever happen to you.
General signs of Genital Warts
Typically, it could take as long as a month for symptoms of
genital warts hpv to appear after being exposed to Hpv, although
sometimes it may take much longer. Most genital warts are not
painful, but they can produce itchy sensations, especially when
clothing may rub on them. Just like warts on a finger or toe,
these genital warts could have a rough texture and
cauliflower-like appearance. In addition, some warts have been
completely flat while others may be almost invisible, only
detectable by a physician.
For men, symptoms of genital warts may occur in various places
in the genital area such as the genitalia, urethra and rectum. A
lot of initial patients start with
pictures of genital
warts however not as effective as a medical visit.
In actuality, these warts could be inside the urethra or even
underneath the foreskin of the male organs. In females, symptoms
of genital warts may appear near the rectum, near the urethra,
inside the vagina or even on the lips of the vulva. In both men
and women, other symptoms of genital warts include discolored
swelling at the genital wart sites and even painful intercourse
with or without abnormal bleeding.
The invisible warts may cause general itching which you may not
attribute to genital warts because they may either look like an
innocuous bump or just a small rough patch of skin. Therefore,
only a physician can truly determine whether or not you have the
warts by conducting a skin test including a test for herpes.
Women should also be tested for pregnancy.
