What is the cause of vaginal warts?
Vaginal wart is primarily caused by infective strains of Human Papillomaviruses that can cause harmless infection of the skin, encouraging the growth of the cells in the infected area leading to a cauliflower-like lesion or even a tiny bump.
The main strains responsible for genital warts are the HPV 6 and 11 strains, which do not cause malignancy or cancers. The warts can develop within weeks to years of the sexual contact; therefore, it is challenging to find out the partner from who you might have gotten it because of the uncertain incubation period of the disease.
How does a vaginal wart spread?
A vaginal wart is a skin infection that can spread with intimate touch. Some of how the vaginal warts can be transmitted are as follows:
1. Sexual intercourse that involves the penis and vagina
2. Touching of the genital area
3. Oral sex by a person infected with HPV or to someone who has HPV
Vaginal warts do not occur with penetration by the hands and require a more intimate contact.
What are the treatment options available for vaginal warts?
Vaginal warts can be treated in simple and non-invasive ways. Some of the ways to treat the vaginal wart, the doctor may suggest the following:
1. Electrocautery: an electric current probe is used to ablate or remove the wart.
2. The warts can be frozen and removed with the help of cryotherapy using liquid nitrogen.
3. Laser can also be used to make a precise cut and remove the wart
4. Loop electrosurgical excision procedure is used to remove the wart in which an electrically charged loop can remove the overgrowing warts.
5. Topical skin medications like chemical peels are also helpful in removing warts, especially in pregnant women.
6. Larger warts may be removed with the help of surgical excision of the wart.
How is a vaginal wart diagnosed?
A vaginal wart can be diagnosed with the help of a local examination of the affected area and also collecting a swab during the pelvic examination to check for the strain of HPV involved.
The swab is tested for the type of HPV to rule out infection by a very high-grade Human Papillomavirus that can also cause genital cancer.
What are the complications of an untreated vaginal wart?
Most of the time, people with a robust immune system may be able to clear out the infection easily on their own, and the warts may disappear. In other people, the following conditions may arise:
1. Foul-smelling vaginal discharge
2. Bleeding from the mass
3. Pain during intercourse
4. Inflammation around the area of the wart.
