Genital Warts : Causes And Diagnosis

What Causes Genital Warts
Warts are caused by viruses. They are sometimes referred to as ano-genital warts or medically as condyloma acuminata. There is a family of viruses called HPV which produce all kinds of warts in different parts of our skin.
The different subtypes of HPV are given numbers. There are over 100 subtypes of HPV. The majority of anogenital warts are HPV type 6 and 11 and these subtypes are entirely harmless other than giving bumps on the skin.
TThey are sexually transmitted. Skin to skin contact of the genitals and the mouth are the most common way that the virus are passed. There are other subtypes of HPV that increase the risk of cervical cancer. Vaccines to prevent these precancerous infections have recently been introduced.
The incubation period is usually between one month and one year.
The prevalence of genital warts depends on a number of risk factors, but appears to be highest in people between 15-25 years of age. Two thirds of those infections that are detected are in women. The numbers of people with genital warts has increased dramatically over the last 25 years. It is thought that about 15% of the sexually active population are infected and that about 1% have genital warts.
How are genital warts diagnosed
Visual examination of the skin
Most of the time warts are identified by looking for irregularities, lumps, bumps, roughness of the skin, or skin color changes.
Most of the time the diagnosis will be clear to a doctor experienced with this condition.
Applying 5% acetic acid or vinegar to the skin or cervix can highlight irregularities and different skin thicknesses that make it suspicious for warts. This produces white patches in the skin in about five minutes because of the change in surface quality, but is not a change specific for HPV infection.
Biopsy of the skin may be performed if:
The diagnosis is uncertain.
Warts not responding to standard therapy.
The condition worsens during therapy.
The patient's immune system is compromised.

The warts are pigmented, bleeding, ulcerated or firm, a possible sign of precancer.

Do I have Genital Warts

Genital warts like all other warts are caused by the effect of the HPV (human papilloma virus) on the surface skin. These viruses live on the outer layer of the skin called the epidermis. The virus may lay within the epidermis and not produce much in the way of changes that show on the skin surface when observed by the naked eye. When changes are visible the following features suggest the presence of warts:

Genital warts are caused by a strain of the HPV virus-the same virus that causes warts and verucas on other parts of the body. Most people become infected with warts through sexual contact. Although using a condom or other barrier method of contraception can reduce your risk of infection, you can still be infected with genital warts via protected sex.
How can I have genital warts
You can normally expect the first warts to appear between two and four weeks after sexual contact with an infected person, but it is possible to be infected with the HPV virus and not show any symptoms-as many as 50% of all infected people never develop genital warts. It is also possible to have been infected with the virus many months or even years previously, but never have shown any symptoms until now as the virus does not always show itself until your immune system is low.
Shape
small, "warty" cauliflower like bumps (verrucous papules)
discrete thin elongated skin tag like warts
smooth-topped bumps (papules or nodules)
large cauliflower lumps or masses
Color
Warts vary in color, ranging from flesh-colored to pink to reddish brown. Warts that have a brown pigment or those that are very red may be more likely to be caused by HPV 16 or 18.
Singular or Clustered

Warts can present singularly, or in culsters. It is thought that the virus may exist subclinically, in the areas that do not have warts.
