Symptoms of genital warts
In many cases, HPV infections show no symptoms, and individuals may carry the virus for years before their immune system naturally eliminates it. However, those without symptoms can still unknowingly pass on the virus.
When genital warts are visible, their appearance can vary significantly from person to person. They may appear as follows:
- Larger, pink, cauliflower-like clusters.
- Almost invisible bumps.
- Small, flat or smooth bumps.
Although they are usually painless, warts may sometimes cause itching or irritation.
Common areas where warts appear:
- Women: Around the vaginal entrance, vulva, or anus.
- Men: On the penis, scrotum, or around and inside the anus.
