Can genital warts caused by HPV also cause warts on other pa Posted: 07-22-07 14:23pm
My former boyfriend, who it turns out, had
multiple partners, insists there is
nothing wrong with him, his other girl
friend or his wife who just got back her
lab results with regard to a pregnancy.
He says there can be nothing wrong with
me.
However, I saw my lab results for the
first pap smear which was done some weeks
ago. It stated: A typical squamous cells
of undertermined significance. I have
done a lot of research and have found that
my original doctor gave me correct
information that the type that I had
showed HPV which is the dangerous type
which can lead to cervical dysplasia and
even cervical cancer.
A problem that I have been having is a
real aching in my vagina, even throbbing.
But, it is a physical thing that is there.
It espeically is sore and painful after
orgasm.
Now, I have found some warts on the back
of my legs, right below the knees. Can
genital warts caused by HPV also cause
warts on other parts of the body?
I want to get to the bottom of this.

All warts that appear on the skin or
mycoses are caused by the Human papiloma
virus (HPV). Some types of HPV are
susceptible for causing genital warts and
some other serotypes (16 and 18) are
oncogenic (can cause dysplasions and
cancer).
