The genital warts are known to be caused by strains of the human papilloma virus (HPV), which is transmitted sexually - this virus has about 100 strains, but not all of them appear on the genitals. The strains are generally categorized into two types - high and low-risk; the high-risk strains are believed to be one of a contributing factors to severe diseases such as cervical cancer and in rare cases penile and throat cancer.

The types of human papilloma virus that cause the warts are not high risk types and the warts do not present great danger to one's general health, but when left untreated they can grow in number and spread in other ares. The types of the virus that cause genital warts are the HPV 6 and HPV 11 - millions of men and women actually carry these types of the HPV (as it has been estimated close to 6.2 million of adult men and women have been infected by HPV in the year 2000 in the US alone), but do not develop warts. The only way to prevent the infection is avoid any skin to skin contact and not to have sex - for sure using condoms and decreasing the number of the casual sexual contacts reduce the chance of getting infected as well.

Although the warts can be successfully treated in most cases, there is no cure for the causes - the virus infection - it remains presented in the patient's body even long after the warts are gone. The infected person should do the following: inform his or her partner, practice safe sex and use own toiletries and soap even though non-sexual transmitting of the virus is very unlikely.

Studies have shown that using male condoms does not guarantee absolute protection as the HPV can be transmitted via skin-to-skin contact; vertical infection (from mother to child) of the warts causes is also possible, but doesn't happen too often. The virus infection also does not spread through blood or other bodily fluids. The genital warts can be found in sexually active people of all ages, but the majority of the infected patients are younger than 30 years of age.

What can one do to fight the warts causes?

If a person leads normal sexual life he or she cannot avoid the infection for certain; still most of the infected men and women do not develop warts and it is truly believed that this is thanks to the fact that their immune system fights the infection. If you have been infected with the HPV and develop warts, seek professional medical care and commence the treatment prescribed by doctor. After the end of the treatment, give your immune system a vital boost by adopting healthier lifestyle with a lot of exercise.
