Unprotected sexual intercourse! Genital warts may be small, flat, flesh-colored bumps or tiny, cauliflower-like bumps. In men, genital warts can grow on the penis, near the anus, or between the penis and the scrotum. In women, genital warts may grow on the vulva and perineal area, in the vagina and on the cervix. Genital warts vary in size and may even be so small that you can't see them. They can lead to cancer of the cervix in women or cancer of the penis in men. Hope this helps. They are able to remove them.The warts can be removed, but the viral infection itself can't be cured. The virus goes on living inside your skin. This is why the warts often return after they have been removed. You may need to have them removed more than once.

Genital warts are very contagious and are spread during oral, vaginal, or anal sex with an infected partner. They are transmitted by skin-to-skin contact during vaginal, anal, or (rarely) oral sex with someone who is infected. Rarely, genital warts also can develop in your mouth or throat if you have oral sex with an infected person.

Treatment\nGenital warts often disappear even without treatment. In other cases, they eventually may develop a fleshy, small raised growth that looks like cauliflower. There is no way to predict whether the warts will grow or disappear. Therefore, if you suspect you have genital warts, you should be examined and treated, if necessary.\n\nDepending on factors such as the size and location of the genital warts, a doctor will offer you one of several ways to treat them.\n\nImiquimod, (Aldara®) a topical immune response cream which you can apply to the affected area \nA 20 percent podophyllin anti-mitotic solution, which you can apply to the affected area and later wash off \nA 0.5 percent podofilox solution, applied to the affected area but shouldn’t be washed off \nA 5 percent 5-fluorouracil cream \nTrichloroacetic acid (TCA) \npulsed dye laser \nliquid nitrogen cryosurgery \nIf you are pregnant, you should not use podophyllin or podofilox because they are absorbed by the skin and may cause birth defects in your baby. In addition, you should not use 5-fluorouracil cream if you are expecting.\n\nIf you have small warts, the doctor can remove them by freezing (cryosurgery), burning (electrocautery), or laser treatment. Occasionally, the doctor will have to use surgery to remove large warts that have not responded to other treatment.\n\nSome doctors use the antiviral drug Alpha Interferon, which they inject directly into the warts, to treat warts that have returned after removal by traditional means. The drug is expensive, however, and does not reduce the rate that the genital warts return.\n\nAlthough treatments can get rid of the warts, they do not get rid of the HPV virus, so warts can recur after treatment. However, the body's immune system typically clears the virus anywhere from 6 months to a year.[1] There is even some suggestion that effective treatment of the wart may aid the body's immune response. An effective HPV vaccine is currently undergoing a phase III FDA trial and appears nearly 100% effective against the most common types.

Genital warts is caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV).  They are permanent and there is no cure.  Your physician may be able to cut or burn them off, but the virus remains in your body forever, which means more growths down there.  And it IS STILL POSSIBLE to spread the virus to others even if you have your current warts removed!!

warts come from a virus and are contageous.  You need to go to your family doctor and he/she will tell you how they will remove them.  You can get them from being sexual active and the person may have given them to you.  There are medications to use along with treatment.

Genital warts (or condyloma, or condylomata acuminata) is a highly contagious sexually transmitted infection. Caused by some variants of the Human papillomavirus, typically HPV 6 and HPV 11, it is spread during oral, genital, or anal sex with an infected partner. \n\nGenital warts often disappear even without treatment. In other cases, they eventually may develop a fleshy, small raised growth. There is no way to predict whether the warts will grow or disappear. Therefore, if you suspect you have genital warts, you should be examined and treated, if necessary.\n\nDepending on factors such as the size and location of the genital warts, a doctor will offer you one of several ways to treat them.\n\nImiquimod, (Aldara®) a topical immune response cream which you can apply to the affected area \nA 20% podophyllin anti-mitotic solution, which you can apply to the affected area and later wash off \nA 0.5% podofilox solution, applied to the affected area but shouldn’t be washed off \nA 5% 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) cream \nTrichloroacetic acid (TCA) \nPulsed dye laser \nLiquid nitrogen cryosurgery \n\nAlthough treatments can get rid of the warts, they do not get rid of the HPV virus, so warts can recur after treatment. The body's immune system typically clears the virus anywhere from 6 months to two years, but it occasionally remains in the body for a lifetime.[1] The state of the immune system determines the chances of ridding the virus entirely, and can be affected by factors such as HIV infection, certain medications, stress, or illness.[2] There is even some suggestion that effective treatment of the wart may aid the body's immune response.

fisrt of all u have to see that he has an active wart or not if he has he can go to the dermatologist and then they can fizing that for him .....when there is no wart in his genitalia area the risk of transmited to u woill be decrease so much...of course HPV as a virus has no treatment completly and i dunno why u are so scared of that ...i know there is some type of HPV has related to servix cancer or methaplasy of it but they are not too much type (16,18,31,33,35 )and others are fine type....if he use condoms then the risk for transmited will be 0 and then no need to be worry even if u have un protected sex with him and he has no active wart the risk of transmited will be too low...then i advice u to both go to a dermatologist or even ur gynecologist and start ur relationship...ab vaccine u said cuz most of the virus change their version then maybe it wont be useful so much....

Viruses can't be removed, but ask a doctor your comfortable with. He can prescribe you something to reduce the number of outbreaks. I wouldn't worry, lots of people have STD/STI's, just be careful.

First of all, as far as I know, masturbation is not the cause of genital warts.  Some genital warts are caused by humanopapilloma( I think thats how it is spelled) virus or HPV.  It is normally sexually transmitted and causes warts in the genital area that may or may not be painful.  In women it can lead to abnormal pap smears and a change in thier cellular makeup (or lead to cervical cancer).  In men it is not as harmful except for the fact that it can be transmitted to their partner and there is no known cure.  Talk to your doctor about options for treatment or removal and the risks of future sexual encounters, but it is a safe bet masturbation is not causing or aggravating this problem.  Good Luck!

If it's just one, it's probably not genital warts. They tend to come in clusters and will spread around your penis. The solution is to have then burned off with liquid nitrogen. This can take several treatments, and if they aren't all removed they may re-occur.\n\nOther symptoms that are sometimes confused as genital warts are molluscum contagiosum (another sexually transmittable disease) and fordyce spots (not a disease at all.)\n\nThe best thing to do is see a doctor ASAP. Only a doctor can provide an accurate diagnosis. If the private hospital is your only option, then go there. But it's better to know the truth, and if treatment is neccesary to start early.\n\nDon't gamble with the crown jewels. Good luck!

Genital warts are caused by human papilloma virus - the same virus family that causes regular warts.\n\nGenital warts can be cured in much the same way as a regular wart.  Either your immune system will kick in and eventually recognize the infected cells and destroy them or you can undergo cryotherapy which freezes the tissues in the attempt to kill the tissues infected with the virus.  Just like in regular warts - freezing the wart doesn't always kill it.\n\nThe HPV vaccine covers many of the common strains of HPV.  It does not however cover all of the strains that cause genital warts nor does it cover all that can cause cervical cancer.  Additionally if any of those viruses mutate - the vaccine will not necessarily protect from those strains.  If you already have HPV the vaccine will not cure you of HPV but it might provide some assistance in limiting the spread of the infection to your other tissues.

Genital warts are caused by a virus. The virus stays in your body forever. However, you need to go and get the wart frozen off at the doctor's office or the local county health department (a lot cheaper). Once they are frozen off, they usually do not reappear although they can. There is nothing you can do without seeing a doctor except continue to spread it around to others and let the virus cause more potential harm to your body.

I was going to say "by being very, very naughty", but there's a reason they're called "genital" warts.  But be aware that herpes and other types of STD's can be transmitted from the genitals to other parts of the body.
