Genital warts are due to an infection of the Human Papiloma Virus (HPV). There are many serotypes of HPV; all of them attack the squamous epithelium of the skin and some mucosa. Mucosa of the vulva, vagina and cervix, for example, contain squamous epithelium and can be infected by HPV. This means that genital warts can grow inside the vagina. HPV is thought to cause cervical dysplasia, which is a precancerous lesion. That’s why genital warts should be detected and treated in good time. Distinguishing the type of the HPV is also necessary. A gynecologist can examine warts inside the vagina or on cervix by vaginal examination using a gynecological speculum. For a more precise examination of the possible precancerous lesions, a gynecologist can use an optical device called a colposcope.
