Vaginal Warts

What are vaginal warts?

Vaginal warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Warts are benign tumors of the epidermis.

Vaginal warts are similar to warts that can develop on your hand. They may feel like a hard bump and can be either rather large or rather small. When the virus (HPV) is contracted, it can either cause one wart or many warts.

Vaginal warts are also called genital warts and venereal warts.

How are Vaginal Warts Detected?

Vaginal warts can be detected during a pap smear. However, vaginal warts are sometimes difficult to detect. They are difficult when the warts are present on the inner area of the vagina.

Symptoms of Vaginal Warts

Some of the most common symptoms of vaginal warts are:

• trichomonas
• wart on the outer vagina
• frequent yeast infections

What does a Vaginal Wart Look Like?

Vaginal warts vary in appearance. They vary in size and shape. Some vaginal warts look like tiny bumps while others look like cauliflower-shaped growths.

How are Vaginal Warts Transmitted?

Vaginal warts are very contagious. They are most often transmitted via direct skin to skin contact. Sexual contact is one of the most common ways to transmit vaginal warts.

How are Vaginal Warts Treated?

Treatment of vaginal warts will depend on the size of the wart. Smaller warts can be treated by applying medication to the infected area. Larger warts may need to be surgically removed or frozen off.

After the vaginal wart is removed or goes away, more vaginal warts may appear. More vaginal warts may appear because the virus that created your body still lives in your body.

How to Prevent Vaginal Warts

The best ways to prevent vaginal warts is to not have sex or use condoms when you have sex. A dental dam (a female sexual protection device) can also be used to help prevent contraction of vaginal warts. If you or your partner has a wart and no symptoms, please visit your doctor.
