Genital Warts symptoms are quite easy to identify, but many people ignore the symptoms of genital warts and do nothing about them. All warts are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus. HPV is the most rapidly spreading STD in America and affects more people than HIV-aids. There are about 5 million new cases reported each year, and this number is growing all the time. It is important to be able to identify genital warts symptoms, so you may treat them immediately.

There are many carriers of the Human Papilloma virus who do not even have any Genital Warts symptoms. In fact, most carriers of the virus, don't even have any warts! The virus is able to lay dormant in the body for months or even years, and can be passed from one person to another through sexual intercourse. So it is possible to pass the virus on, without having any genital wart symptoms at all.

Genital wart symptoms are normally quite obvious. Small bumps or growths appear in the genital region, including in and around the anus, vagina and penis. They can appear as individual growths or they can group together in clusters. Some of these clusters may have a cauliflower-like appearance. They range in color from whitish or grey looking to red, pink or skin color. Unless they become lacerated and bleed, genital warts are usually not painful but may be itchy and irritating. It is best to stick to natural methods for successful treatment.
