Genital Warts (Human Papillomavirus)

Genital warts are growths on the skin or mucous membranes of the genital and anal region, associated with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV). They are usually soft, skin-colored, and appear singly or in groups.

How it is transmitted: mainly through sexual contact, although visible lesions do not always appear in the person who carries it.

Common symptoms: small bumps, itching, or mild discomfort in the affected area; at times they go unnoticed.

Which specialist treats it? The urologist evaluates these cases in men and can provide guidance on studies and follow-up; in women, gynecology is also involved. If you notice changes or lesions in the genital region, it is advisable to schedule a review to receive professional guidance and address any questions.
