Genital warts, also known as condylomata acuminata or venereal warts, are one of the most common types of sexually transmitted diseases. As the name suggests, genital warts affect the moist tissues of the genital area. They may look like small, flesh-colored bumps or have a cauliflower-like appearance. Genital warts may be as small as 1 millimeter in diameter — smaller than the width of a ballpoint pen refill — or may multiply into large clusters.

In women, genital warts can grow on the vulva, the walls of the vagina, the area between the external genitals and the anus, and the cervix. In men, they may occur on the tip or shaft of the penis, the scrotum or the anus. Genital warts can also develop in the mouth or throat of a person who has had oral sexual contact with an infected person.
Although genital warts can be treated with medications and surgery, they are a serious health concern. The virus that causes them — the human papillomavirus (HPV) — has been associated with cervical cancer. It has also been linked with other types of genital cancers, such as cancer of the penis.
An infected person may feel itching or burning sensation around the genital area. Warts may cause discomfort during sexual intercourse. Sometimes it may also cause bleeding. Tiny bumps or swelling of red, grey or pink color may be seen around the genitals. Affected area may be more moist than normal. In women, genital warts can cause symptoms like abnormal vaginal bleeding or increased vaginal discharge. Sometimes there may not be any visible symptoms like bumps, lesions or swelling. In such cases a closed medical examination of the skin around the genital is the only way to diagnose the genital warts. Transmission of HPV through sexual contact usually takes three months to develop the symptoms. However, sometimes there may be no symptoms for years.
The signs and symptoms of genital warts include:
Small, flesh-colored or gray swellings in your genital area
Several warts close together that take on a cauliflower shape
Itching or discomfort in your genital area
Bleeding with intercourse
Often, however, genital warts cause no symptoms. Or they may be so small and flat that they can't be seen with the naked eye.
Pregnancy may sometimes trigger a dormant infection, or an active infection may worsen during pregnancy.
Like warts that appear on other areas of your skin, genital warts are caused by a virus — HPV — that infects the top layers of your skin. There are more than 100 different types of HPV, but only a few can cause genital warts. These strains of the virus are highly contagious and spread through sexual contact with an infected person. About two-thirds of people who have sexual contact with someone who has genital warts develop the condition — usually within three months of contact, but in some cases not for years
Genital wart is a sexually transmitted disease. It can spread through any form of sexual contact with the infected person. It can also spread by touching the genitals of the infected person. However, it can also be transmitted indirectly by sharing towel with the infected person. In rare cases a new born baby may get infected during delivery.
Eat a diet rich in folic acid and beta-carotene. Eat fruits and vegetables like radish, mango, squash, and tomato which are orange, yellow and red in colour. Dark green and leafy vegetables like spinach, cabbage and so on are recommended.

Avoid cigarettes and oral contraceptives. Using condoms prevents transmission to some extent. Take pap test regularly.
