This viral disease is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases.<\/p>\n<p>Warts are small external lumps, which appear on the penis, vagina, anus and rarely in the mouth, or on other parts of the body, such as the hands. They usually have an uneven texture and are more easily noticed by touch.<\/p>\n<p>They may appear singly or in clusters and may be skin-like or pink in colour.<\/p>\n<p>Warts in these areas (penis, vagina, anus, anus, mouth) are caused by HPV &#8211; Human Papilloma Viruses, while warts on other parts of the body (hands) are caused by different types of HPV.<\/p>\n<p>Anal warts can also be mistaken for haemorrhoids.<\/p>\n<p>Contact with these warts that have appeared in other places, such as on the hands, does not seem to cause genital warts. However, the spread of warts found in or around the genital area is rapid, as through contact with the warts (simple contact, i.e. touching), there is a spread of active virus molecules, which increase geometrically.<\/p>\n<p>2\/3 of people who have sexual contact with a partner who has genital warts will develop warts, usually within three months after contact. The percentage of people who &#8220;catch&#8221; HPV is increasing dramatically every year. In the US, new cases of genital warts and anal warts are estimated at 1 million per year.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_one_full  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr  column-top-margin\" style='border-radius:0px; '><div  class='avia-image-container  av-styling-    avia-builder-el-4  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  avia-align-center '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"  ><div class='avia-image-container-inner'><div class='avia-image-overlay-wrap'><a href='https:\/\/proctoclinic.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/bigstock-papilloma-virus-hpv.jpg' class='avia_image'  ><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"wp-image-4883 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-4883 avia_image\" src=\"https:\/\/proctoclinic.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/bigstock-papilloma-virus-hpv-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\u03ba\u03bf\u03bd\u03b4\u03c5\u03bb\u03ce\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1 \u03c0\u03c1\u03c9\u03ba\u03c4\u03bf\u03cd\" title=\"\" itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/proctoclinic.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/bigstock-papilloma-virus-hpv-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/proctoclinic.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/bigstock-papilloma-virus-hpv-705x529.jpg 705w, https:\/\/proctoclinic.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/bigstock-papilloma-virus-hpv-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/proctoclinic.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/bigstock-papilloma-virus-hpv.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div  style='height:30px' class='hr hr-invisible   avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_one_full  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/proctoclinic.gr\/en\/genital-anal-warts-transmission\/\">How are genital anal warts transmitted?
