Genital warts are caused by the HPV virus, also known as the human papillomavirus, a sexually transmitted disease. As a classic STD, it is mainly transmitted through sexual contact, but it can also be transmitted through mother-to-child transmission, blood, and close personal contact. Clinically, genital warts primarily manifest as cauliflower-like growths on the external genitalia and are prevalent among sexually active populations. After diagnosing genital warts, treatments such as laser or cryotherapy can be used to remove the warts. Additionally, genital warts are prone to recurrence in the short term, requiring regular visits to the hospital outpatient clinic.
