What are Genital
Warts?
Genital warts are soft, small growths on the genital or
anal area caused by HPV (Human Papillomavirus), usually
types 6 and 11. They spread through sexual contact and
may appear as single or clustered bumps. They are usually
painless but can cause itching or discomfort.

childbirth (rare)
