Meal Time! Recipes A Husband's Opinion Dear Emma by Dr. Yvette Gentry Genital warts are caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), which is the most common viral, sexually transmitted disease. Some strains of the virus are associated with cervical cancer. Only 5% to 10% of all genital HPV infections come to clinical attention. HPV infections, or warts, may be seen by the naked eye on the genitalia or may be picked up by a Pap Smear exam of the cervix. The virus can be spread through sexual contact by someone who shows no visible signs of HPV. This viral infection (unlike a bacterial infection) is not curable with antibiotics. It may be in one's system indefinitely, flaring up whenever you are stressed, immuno-suppressed or ill. As with other sexually transmitted diseases, the best prevention is abstinence, or the alternative, safe sex. If a couple has been intimate for some time, however, they have probably already shared viruses. It is estimated that 15% to 20% of visible genital warts regress spontaneously within 3 to 6 months. Genital warts may be detected at the time of a routine annual pelvic exam. At that time the doctor will look at the genitalia for any signs of warts on the inside or outside. A Pap Smear will detect any cervical HPV infection which may be subclinical or not visible to the naked eye.

[View All Articles] Genital Warts What you need to know: About 1 percent of all sexually active people have genital warts. They are caused by a large group of viruses called human papillomaviruses, some of which carry a risk of cervical cancer. Genital warts are usually pink, white or gray, and they appear in small clusters. They can be hard to see, especially when they are in the internal genital tract. They may itch or burn. Sometimes pregnancy-related hormones cause genital warts to grow or get larger. Pregnant women sometimes pass the infection to their babies. If a baby gets infected, warts can grow on the vocal cords during childhood. What you can do: Tell your health care provider if you think you may have genital warts. If the warts grow large or uncomfortable, they can be safely removed during pregnancy with laser surgery or cryotherapy (freezing). You can protect yourself from sexually transmitted infections by following these guidelines: Have sex with only one partner who does not have sex with anyone else and who does not use drugs.

Search Site: Search Web: HealingWell Medcenter Medifocus Guide Genital Warts (Condylomata Acuminata) Introduction Genital warts, also known as condyloma acuminata or venereal warts, are a form of sexually transmitted disease (STD). Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) which is spread by direct contact with an infected partner through vaginal, anal, or oral intercourse. These warts develop in the genital areas including the vagina, vulva, cervix, urethra, and anus of infected women, and the penis and anus of infected men. Some genital HPV infections do not cause visible warts, yet can lead to more serious conditions such as cancer. HPV is now considered to be the primary cause of abnormal cellular changes that lead to cervical cancer. The risk for cervical cancer appears to be highest in women infected with HPV for more than six months. High-risk HPV are associated with moderate dysplasia and carcinoma in situ. Severe HPV types have also been associated with an increased risk for other cancers, including other genital and lung cancers. Women initially infected by one type of HPV do not develop immunity to other types. Up to one in 10 Americans has a genital HPV infection. Between 500,000 and one million new cases occur every year. The disease can affect anyone, regardless of age, race or sexual preference.

GENITOURINARY MEDICINE, Volume 69 Number 4, Pages 262-264, August 1993. Clinical Presentation of Genital Warts Among Circumcised and Uncircumcised Heterosexual Men Attending an Urban STD Clinic L S Cook, L A Koutsky, K K Holmes Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health University of Washington, Seattle, WA. Center for AIDS and STDs, School of Medicine University of Washington, Seattle, WA. Address correspondence to: LA Koutsky, PhD, Center for AIDS and STDs, 1001 Broadway, Seattle WA 98122 USA Abstract Introduction - A recent study comparing heterosexual men with and without confirmed sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in an urban STD clinic showed that uncircumcised men were less likely than circumcised men to have genital wart detectable by clinical examination (adjusted odds ratio 0.7, 95% confidence interval 0.4, 0.9). Based on these initial findings we hypothesised that the appearance and anatomic distribution of genital warts, and possibly treatment response, may be different for circumcised and uncircumcised men. Methods - The anatomic location, appearance, number of warts, and response to treatment was investigated through review of medical records of 459 heterosexual men with genital warts detected in 1988.

human papillomavirus infection in females By Eva Martin, MD Human papillomavirus, or HPV, infection is a sexually transmitted disease , or STD, caused by a group of viruses. What is going on in the body? More than 70 types of HPV have been classified but not all cause genital warts. It is estimated that 70% of sexually active women have been exposed to HPV. Those women who become infected do not always have visible genital warts. The virus may be quiet, or not active, for a long time. Symptoms may then occur as a result of illness or stress on the immune system, such as other vaginal infections. Sexual contact with a new partner who is infected with a different type of HPV may trigger an outbreak of visible lesions. What are the signs and symptoms of the infection? Most women have no symptoms during the early stage of infection. In several studies that involved college women, nearly half were positive for HPV. However, only 1% to 2% had visible warts and fewer than 10% remembered ever having warts. If symptoms are present, they may include the following: dry, painless, cauliflower-like warts on the genitals

They may appear as a single bump or in multiple clusters and can be very tiny or occasionally more extensive. Some warts are so small that they cannot be seen with the naked eye. Sometimes a person may not even know he or she has the type of HPV that causes genital warts. This is called “sub-clinical HPV.” The most common size of warts we see at Campus Health is about 3 mm, or a little smaller than the end of a pencil. If left untreated, they may continue to grow over a period of several months, but will eventually heal on their own over a period of months to years. What causes genital warts?

More than 70 types of HPV have been identified; types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, and 35 are transmitted sexually and cause anogenital warts . Anogenital warts caused by types 6 and 11 typically appear externally, on the penis, vulva, or anus. Types 16 and 18 cause warts on the mucous membranes (epithelium) that line the vagina, cervix, rectum, or urethra and are associated with cervical and rectal cancer. Infection is serious, although most cases do not lead to cancer. Anogenital warts may be located deep in the epithelium of the vagina, urethra, or rectum and may be confined to an early isolated outbreak, depending on their type. For these reasons, up to one-half of infected people are unaware that they have genital warts. Untreated genital warts can eventually grow, spread, and form large clusters.

STDs can be painful, irritating, debilitating, and life threatening. Incidence and Prevalence STDs occur most commonly in sexually active teenagers and young adults, especially those with multiple sex partners. An estimated 200 to 400 million people worldwide are affected—representing men and women of all economic classes, including about 70 million in the United States. Generally, STD incidence has declined in the United States over the past 15 years, although rates among certain populations, including men who have sex with men, have increased. Characteristics Most STDs cause relatively harmless disease, producing few symptoms or no symptoms. However, some produce persistent asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic disease (e.g., chlamydia). Some people carry the disease for days or weeks, while others carry the disease for longer periods, even for life. During this time, an infected individual, or

In women, genital warts can grow on the vulva, the walls of the vagina, the perineum — the area between the external genitals and the anus — and the cervix — the neck of the uterus. In men, they may be found on the tip or shaft of the penis, the scrotum or the anus. They can also develop in the mouth or throat of a person who has had oral sexual contact with an infected person. Although genital warts can be treated, they are a serious health concern. The virus that causes them — called the human papillomavirus (HPV) — has been associated with cervical cancer. It has also been linked with other types of genital cancers. New genital HPV infections affect about 5.5 million Americans annually.
