Female genital warts is the most widely spread sexually transmitted diseases among women. It is caused by a virus called HPV (the human papilloma virus). In fact there is an estimated number of 20 million Americans who are infected by this virus. Moreover, about 5.6 million new infections are declared each year in the US.

The HPV infection does not always cause genital warts or any symptoms of any kind. And even when it does, the first signs of genital warts and other symptoms only start to appear after a couple of months or even years following the infection.

Female genital warts are pinkish, reddish or grey swellings of the skin that grow on the vulva, the vagina (the case of vaginal warts or vaginal genital warts), the area between external genitals and the anus and even in the anus. They can also grow inside the uterus.

These swellings grow to form clusters that take on a cauliflower shape. Some times the symptoms of female genital warts can also include a sensation of burning and itching and can even cause some bleeding.
