Most of the time, people with genital warts infection may have different manifestations. In fact, nearly half of those affected with the disease don't have any signs and symptoms at all. Among those who evidently show symptoms, genital warts may come in two most common ways. First, warts may develop in any parts of the body particularly on the external periphery of the vagina in females and penis in males. They may appear like swollen chucks on the skin that are sometimes gray or pink in color. Second, genital warts may simply come as flat scratches on the skin, which are, most of the time, white in color, although there are cases wherein its color is the same with the person's skin, making it more difficult to identify. Other common genital warts symptoms may comprise itchiness on the area where warts have developed, burning sensation especially on the genitals and increased pain during sexual contact. Sometimes, warts bleed and when they do, it becomes more uncomfortable and sore for the person affected.
Very much often, genital warts are very tiny that they are not noticeable or tiny enough to be visible. When this occurs to the person who has been infected with the Human Papillomavirus, it means that he is already experiencing the subclinical stage of infection. At this stage, the person is already infected yet they may not aware of it. To females, genital warts may become a root for cervical cancer. This is the reason why most medical experts advice to get a Pap smear at least once a year in order detect any abnormalities beforehand. If you are having fears that you may have the disease, don't take chances anymore and go directly to your doctor.
