Genital Warts: Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Genital warts are a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that mainly affected individuals (both male and female) with human papillomavirus (HPV). They are characterized by soft fleshy growths that develop on the genitals or anus. Although they are not usually painful, genital warts can cause discomfort, redness, itchiness, and sometimes bleed. 

Genital warts are also referred to as venereal warts or condylomata acuminata. They can either develop in clusters or separately. They are normally skin-colored or somehow dark in color and can affect a small section of the genital or a large part.
