Genital warts are caused by infection with Human Papilloma Virus (a sexually transmitted infection). Human Papilloma Virus can lead to Cervical cancer. A vaccine has recently been developed to protect against 2 types of this virus (6 and 11).
It depends on the stain of the virus and often the immune system of the infected person.
About 90% of genital warts are caused by HPV-6 and -11, these HPV types are considered "low risk," having a low cancer-causing potential.
HPV-16 is responsible for about 50% of cervical cancers, and types 16, 18, 31, and 45 together account for 80% of cancers. While these strains cause the majority of all cancers, they are the strain least likely to be contracted.
If you contract HPV, make sure any future health care professional you see knows you are infected, so they can take measures to watch for the tiniest changes in your cervix. And keep up on the literature available from your doctor or heath care clinic.
Because the warts themselves are infectious, avoid touching them. Do not pick or squeeze the warts. You will cause them to spread in the area and to other parts of your body.
