Management of Genital Warts
Warts that develop in the genital area are known as ‘condylomata acuminata’, and they are passed on from one person to another through sexual activity where the human papilloma virus or HPV is transmitted. However it is not unusual for a person to contract the virus yet not develop warts, or at least not for a few months.
Genital Warts first start to appear in the moist areas of the genitals as small raised pinkish bumps, they can then develop if left untreated into larger growths that have stalks and resemble cauliflower clumps.
In females warts usually develop in the vagina, and look like small pink bumps. They can be itchy or if left untreated and develop they can even give off a bad smell and in some cases bleed after sexual intercourse. It is always a good idea to get a professional medical opinion when you a woman assumes they have warts, as they can be dangerous if they grow on the cervix
In men the most common places for genital warts to grow is on the penis and scrotum, or for an uncircumcised man they can also develop under the foreskin. They tend to appear in groups, and are slightly raised, with a rough surface. The worst cases they grow larger and are darker in appearance
Genital warts can be irritating and cause an uncomfortable itchy sensation, however they can be painless in certain instances. In severe cases the urinary tract can be obstructed which might cause bleeding, also an excessive amount of discharge may appear. The more time the virus is left without treatment then the worse it may become, as warts will multiply and the condition will become more severe. It is, without a doubt of real importance to discover a way to treat them successfully.

Topical creams are usually the first line of defense that a doctor will try to remove the warts, however bare in mind that some creams are chemical based and toxic, which can be a problem due to the fast absorption into the bloodstream in some genital areas.
