HPV and Genital Warts (Condylomata)
- Types of HPV: There are over 80 types of HPV, with 20 affecting the genital area.
- Prevalence: Approximately 75% of sexually active adults have been infected with genital HPV.
- Symptoms: Genital warts, or condylomata acuminata, are lesions in the genital, perineal, and anal areas caused by HPV types 6 and 11.
Causes and Transmission
- Incubation Period: HPV can incubate for up to eight months.
- Infection Rate: Most HPV infections clear within 2 years without symptoms.
- Transmission: Genital warts, or condylomata, are highly contagious and can be transmitted even without visible symptoms.
Diagnosis and Symptoms
- Signs: Genital warts may cause itching and are often self-detected. Internal warts may cause discharge or discomfort.
- Appearance: Warts are small, warty lumps that may be browner than the surrounding skin.
- Diagnosis: Usually based on appearance; biopsy may be needed if uncertain.
Treatment Options
- Pregnancy Considerations: Treatment should be cautious, especially in the last eight weeks of pregnancy.
- Methods: Cryotherapy, electrosurgery, and trichloroacetic acid (TCA) are common treatments. Podophyllotoxin and Imiquimod are avoided during pregnancy.
Prevention and Care
- Prevention: Use condoms to reduce the risk of transmission, though it is not completely protective.
- Partner Examination: All sexual partners should be examined and treated if condylomata are found.
