Genital Warts Treatment For Women: Common Symptoms of STDs in Women

By James Melbourne


If you are one of the millions of Americans suffering from genital warts, wart removal is something you need to explore. Like most warts, the genital wart is not only ugly to behold, it is located in the most inconvenient places, and all too often is a source of embarrassment, discomfort, and pain. What could be worse than preparing for a romantic evening with your loved one, only to discover that you have developed one of these hideous growths in your most intimate parts? There are various genital wart removal methods, some costly, cumbersome or painful; others cheap, easy, and pain-free. We'll give you some options to explore so that you can decide for yourself which method or treatment is best for you.

First, you need to make sure that if you are going to treat a wart it is indeed a wart and not some other type of skin disorder. Warts are small masses of bumpy, cauliflower-like thickened skin. These growths or benign tumors are triggered by any of the human papillomavirus (hpv) family of viruses. They can appear just about anywhere on the human body. Specifically, genital warts (i.e., condylomata acuminate), also known as venereal warts, are warts that develop in the genitals or surrounding areas. Warts on penis and vagina warts are the most common types of genital wart. But they can also appear in the anal, rectal and perineal areas, upper thighs, scrotum, cervix, and even the mouth or throat (as a result of oral sex). These growths look like regular warts, but appear only in specific areas of the body. Though warts, by and large, do not imperil one's health, they can cause a burning sensation, pain, and even bleeding, especially inside the vagina. Removal options should strongly be considered when any of these conditions arise. Women should be especially aware of the possibility of having genital warts on the cervix.

Another common symptom of STD's for women is an unfamiliar vaginal discharge. In some cases this may appear as a cloudy liquid that happens during, or immediately following sexual intercourse. With a severe infection this discharge may also contain blood, which may also indicate internal abrasions or infections. These can be serious and need to be addressed immediately to prevent the spread of the disease. Many of the STD's that produce these types of discharges may also cause a burning or itching sensation at the site of the discharge. This can vary widely between patients and is related to which STD you have contracted and how advanced the symptoms are. In women, this discharge may also be accompanied by a strong vaginal odor, which should be very apparent.

The third more obvious symptom is any type of skin irritation or growth in the groin area. Some STD's will produce visible bumps or skin lesions to indicate that the underlying virus is present. In the case of genital warts symptoms in women, these bumps will occur at the site of the initial sexual contact. Even though the size and location of these can vary, any unusual bumps you notice should be a cause for concern and trigger a checkup with your doctor.

In some STD's this skin irritation will be minor and may go unnoticed for some time. In others it will be more pronounced and may also include itching, burning or bleeding depending on its location and the size of the affected area. These areas may also be sore to the touch and can be painful during sexual contact.
