What are the symptoms of Genital Warts?
The virus that causes genital warts is called HPV (human papillomavirus). It is possible for an individual to be infected with HPV and to transmit the virus without ever showing any symptoms. The most common symptoms are the appearance of warts in and around the genital region. Genital warts can cause complications such as blockage of the urinary tract and a higher incidence of genital cancers.
