Genital warts can cause itching, burning and discomfort and may appear years after sexual contact with a person who has the virus.

Your current partner has not necessarily passed it on to you. All sexually active men and women of all ages are at risk of genital warts.

Genital warts are passed on by skin-to-skin contact. It forms around the genital areas and in and around the anus. There could be just one, or it could be many.

Treatment will depend on how bad they are and how many they are, and can either be a cream, or they could be burnt off with liquid oxygen.
