Signs and symptoms
The signs and symptoms of genital warts include:
- Small, flesh-colour or grey swellings in your genital area
- Several warts close together that take on a cauliflower shape
- Itching or discomfort in your genital area
- Bleeding with intercourse
Often, however, genital warts cause no symptoms. Or they may be so small and flat that they can't be seen with the naked eye.
Pregnancy may sometimes trigger a dormant infection, or an active infection may worsen during pregnancy.
