Genital warts, a common sexually transmitted infection STI, are prevalent in both Singapore and globally. Caused by papillomavirus HPV with over 150 related types identified, this virus not only leads to genital warts but also significantly increases the risk of anal cancer, throat cancer, vaginal cancer, and vulva cancer.
The transmission of HPV often occurs through sexual contact involving oral sex, vaginal intercourse, or anal sex with an infected individual. Even skin-to-skin contact between uninfected individuals and those carrying the virus poses a risk due to its contagious nature.
Symptoms may include round, firm bumps that can range in size from pinheads to pencil erasers. Untreated genital warts could lead to complications during pregnancy or delivery if they are present near the vaginal canal or birth opening.
