Genital warts is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) passed on through vaginal, anal and, rarely, oral sex. Treatment from a sexual health clinic can help them go away.
What happens at a sexual
health clinic
A doctor or nurse can usually diagnose warts by looking at them. They
will:
- ask you about your symptoms and sexual partners
- look closely at the lumps around your genitals and anus
- possibly need to look inside your vagina, anus or urethra (where pee comes out) depending where your warts are.
