What are Genital Warts?
- Genital warts are a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by certain types of the human papillomavirus (HPV), mainly HPV 6 and 11. They appear as small, flesh-colored or cauliflower-like bumps on the genitals or around the anus. Many people have no symptoms apart from the warts. Treatment removes visible warts but does not eliminate HPV, so recurrence is possible. Safe sex and HPV vaccination help reduce the risk.
