Female Genital Warts

Female genital warts are usually found on the inside and outside of the vagina, the cervix, uterus and anus. If they are not treated female genital warts can lead to cervical cancer.

It goes without saying that vaginal warts can be the cause of great embarrassment and severely impact on the sexual activity of any women suffering with them.

The main genital warts symptom is the appearance of raised, flesh-colored lesions or cauliflower-like growths on the genitals, anus, or the surrounding skin. Another genital warts symptom is an increased dampness or moisture in the area of these growths (genital warts zone). Genital warts are painless, but they can be very disturbing because of their location and size, and because one of the genital warts symptoms is pruritus (itchiness of the anal or vulvar area).

Genital warts and pregnancy

One of the questions commonly asked about female genital warts is whether they are likely to cause any complications or problems during pregnancy or childbirth. The answer is that, unlike herpes, transmission of HPV to the baby very rarely occurs during childbirth. In the rare event that it is transmitted to the baby, a doctor can recommend appropriate treatment.

Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy can be a genital wart symptom. It may be due to an episode of vaginal wart eruption. Coital bleeding (bleeding after sexual intercourse) is another possible sign of genital warts. Some sufferers also report increased vaginal discharge.

Genital warts in women are sometimes sub-clinical (meaning that there are no visible genital warts symptoms), and sometimes are hidden by hair. If other symptoms are present, vaginal warts or cervical warts may be considered as a possibility. If you are unsure about whether or not you have been in contact with the human papilloma virus (HPV), check with your doctor.

Some of the medications used to treat genital warts cannot be used during pregnancy, so it is important to tell your doctor if you could be pregnant.

Will a Pap test help?

A Pap test, or Pap smear, is a procedure to test for cervical cancer. But it can also help to detect cervical and vaginal changes which may have been triggered by genital warts.

The general rule is that a woman should have a Pap test either at the age of 21 or within three years of having sex, whichever comes first. Women who have had genital warts should have a Pap test every three to six months. Early detection of cancerous cells provides the woman with a much greater chance of a cure.
