Genital warts are a type of wart that are only found on your private parts of the body. The genital wart is one that will be easily recognized. Genital warts are also known as veneral warts and also as condylmata acuminata. Warts in this manner are caused by a skin infection, which is known as PHV infection. It is possible to have the HPV infection without having genital warts. Genital warts are often passed along during sexual intercourse, but not all those who have genital warts are going to know they are infected until the warts are bigger and a little more painful.
Warts are a virus, that can be passed by touching, sitting and skin to skin contact. The most common types of warts are seen on people's hands and feet, which are a different form of a wart but are generally the same thing if you are wondering what genital warts really are.
Warts are associated with the tumors that form under and in the skin. The tumors are forms of the HPV infection, and will form warts as the body rids the infection from the body. If you have warts on the hand or on the feet, you are not going to spread this to your genitals. If you know someone who has genital warts, they are not going to give you warts on your hands and the same goes the other way around.
For the woman, if you have genital warts, they will appear on the inside and the outside of the vagina. If the woman has anal sex, the genital warts could appear an the anus, and the same is for the man. If a man is having anal sex with another, the genital warts could appear on the anus area as well.
The warts will appear in the same area, taking a long time to spread out. Sometimes the warts will disappear on their own, but only in rare cases often times the genital warts will spread becoming crusty and become large areas of warts over the private areas of a male or female. If you have genital warts, and someone performs oral sex, the genital warts can be transmitted to that person. Genital warts can be treated by a doctor, and with medications. If not treated, often times genital warts can become troublesome not only for the person suffering with them, but for people you love and want to share that special relationship with.
If you have sex with someone that you later finds out has genital warts, you most likely are going to end up with genital warts are well. It can take any where from one month to three months for genital warts to appear and become large enough for a person to notice them. Always protect yourself by avoiding having sex with anyone you don't know or trust not to have genital warts.

I found out i had hpv in 1999 when i was pregnant with my first child. I went to my gynecologist after having developed clusters of painfully large bumps. When he told me what they were, showed me pictures and then explained how you get them I was furious. When I developed more warts that got larger due to changing hormones while being pregnant they started to bleed. I then had them removed through a procedure with dry ice. For me the healing process was very painful an miserable. Its been almost 10 years without an outbreak of warts. I have been battling discharge and faithfully wearing panty liners. Since my outbreak I haven't used anything. Does anyone have suggestions?
yes i just wanted to let you know im a victim of hpv i havnt gone back to see if i still have it i went to the doctors 2yrs ago and i came out negative is it possible to come back ?i also need to know if i am able to have children how do i find that out and for my husband too thank you
Yes you can still have out breaks of HPV. I have been clear of this for about 3 years and now am experiencing the same thing as before the clearance.
Yes you can have children i found out this year when i was pregnant that i had hpv, i now have a 5 month old daughter.
I have a friend with gental warts. She does not have medical or a job. Her perscription was like 400 dollars. I can only help her out so much. Does anyone have a suggestion?
suggest clinic or contacting the health department to assist in medications.
I have had this same problem with trying to pay for prescriptions in the past and found that if you contact the make of your medication you will be able to get the medicine for free. (It's a process, but in the long run it helps out the one's that need it).
GOOD LUCK!
can you pass hpv through saliva, spitting, sharing food or kissing? i need to know.

please email me back
thank you very much i am just really upset and worried about my daughter
As the article here says, skin warts are completely different from genital warts. Your daughter could have conracted the virus from anyone she has skin to skin contact with, including her playmates. Skin warts take quite a while to develop, so a weekend visit with someone could not be the cause and effect in such a short period of time.
They can be removed by some of the over-the-counter medications or by freezing at the doctor's office. The ER is not the place to get them treated. Never cut or pick at them as this may often cause them to spread. If she is picking at them and then touching her skin in other areas, this is causing them to spread.
I hope this reassures you somewhat and helps.
