Genital warts are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, which is highly contagious and recurrent. Genital warts are a type of sexually transmitted disease, primarily transmitted through direct sexual contact. Some patients might be infected through contact with contaminated towels or bedding, such as in hotels, during bathing, or using a toilet, although the chances of such infections are very low. Clinically, the infections are mainly due to sexual contact. After contracting this disease, it's crucial to seek standardized treatment at a reputable hospital. Common treatments include using lasers to remove the warts, followed by topical or injectable interferon treatments. The treatment period can be lengthy and may often involve recurrent outbreaks requiring repeated treatments. With persistent, long-term treatment, it is possible to completely cure the condition.
