What is Genital Wart?

Genital Wart is an infectious viral disease that settles in the anal and genital area. Also known as Anal Condyloma.

The causative agent of the disease is HPV (Human Papilloma Virus). This virus, which has many subgroups, often causes lesions on the hands and feet. While HPV 6 and 11 often cause benign lesions in the anal area, HPV 16 and 18 have the potential to become cancerous.

How Are Genital Warts Infected?

The main way of infection of genital warts is sexual intercourse. However, people can move the lesion to another part of their body through direct contact also.

Warts in the anal area usually occur with the spread of genital infection or through anal intercourse. The greater the number of sexual partners, the greater the risk of infection.

After infection of the HPV virus, the onset of the disease is 1 to 6 months on average.

It is known that in women with warts in the genital area, the baby is also infected during vaginal delivery.
