What is Condyloma Acuminatum?
Often referred to as genital warts, this sexually transmitted infection is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), and presents as small skin coloured bumps in the groin or perianal area. HPV is very common in women and men who have ever had sex - four out of five people will have HPV at some point in their lives, and most won't even know it.
Typical Symptoms of Condyloma Acuminatum
Bumps or swellings around the vulva/vagina
Lump or bump on the penis
Lump in the space between the genitals and anus (perineum)
Hemorrhoids (piles) or a lump at the anus
Bleeding in between menstrual cycles / periods or after menopause

Doctor's Diagnostic Questionson Condyloma Acuminatum
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
Do you have any lumps or boils in your genital area?
Do you feel any lumps on your penis?
Do you feel any lumps between the genital and anus?
Do you have hemorrhoids or a lump at the anus?
Have you experienced vaginal bleeding or discharge outside of your periods or after menopause?
Treatmentof Condyloma Acuminatum
Effective vaccines for teens exist now that significantly decrease infection risk from HPV. Creams, or simple procedures such as cryotherapy can be performed to remove the wart. Laser treatments are available for more extensive cases. However, they can recur throughout life, and risk factors for increased recurrence and severity include immunosuppression, and increased numbers of different sexual partners. Shaving should be avoided as it can cause severe spread of the lesions due to trauma to the skin. It is crucial to abstain from sex until the wart is completely treated as HPV can cause cervical and anal cancer in sexual partners.
