Understanding Genital Warts -- Symptoms

What Are the Symptoms of Genital Warts?

The symptoms of genital warts include:

• Painless, flesh-colored or grayish-white growths on the outside or inside of the vagina, around the cervix, or around the anus, thigh, scrotum, or penis that may develop a cauliflower-like appearance and involve more than one area.
• Itchiness or mild soreness in the genital area.

It’s important to keep in mind there could be no symptoms at all.

Call Your Doctor About Genital Warts If:

You develop any of these symptoms or a sexual partner has been diagnosed with genital warts or thinks he or she has them. They are contagious and require medical treatment.
