Where genital warts occur on women

In women genital warts usually occur around the opening of the vagina (vulva), but can occur in the folds of skin alongside the vaginal opening, to the womb, or around the anus. Both men and women can get the warts in their mouth and down the throat after engaging in oral sex (see genital warts pictures).

These are just some of the basic genital warts facts on where genital warts occur, but hopefully they will help you become more aware and knowledgeable about HPV. However people don’t tend to know they have contracted HPV until they develop genital warts, which can increase the risk in contracting other more serious medical diseases in the future, which is why it is important to get yourself checked out by a doctor.

Unfortunately there isn't a cure for HPV, and once you are infected with the HPV virus you will have it all your life. However your body can ‘fight it off’ and the virus itself can become dormant for decades and then reappear, but once the warts have formed they don't typically regress and require treatment.
