Vaginal warts are a type of warts which can occur on a woman's vagina and in her cervix. Vaginal warts are also called or venereal warts. Vaginal warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and are classed as a sexually transmitted disease. Vaginal warts are no laughing matter nor are they easy to live with and are far more common than one is ever likely to imagine. Vaginal warts aren't broadly speaking life threatening in nature though some connections have been made with them causing cervical cancer.
If that isn’t enough, the vaginal warts can be clinical, meaning that there are visible symptoms presented, or sub clinical meaning the vaginal warts are there but are presenting no outward signs or symptoms. Cervical and Vaginal warts are flat and not always visible to the naked eye.
They are difficult to detect when the warts are present on the inner area of the vagina. Some vaginal warts look like tiny bumps while others look more like cauliflower shaped growths. Sexual contact is one of the most commonplace ways to transmit vaginal warts.
Treatment of vaginal warts will largely depend on the size of the warts. Smaller warts can be treated by applying 
suitable medication to the infected areas. Larger warts will most likely need to be surgically removed or frozen. Once the vaginal wart is removed or goes away, more vaginal warts may appear because the virus that created them still lives in your body. Vaginal warts tend thrive best in the soft fleshy inner workings of women.
Recently there has been some controversy regarding the treatment of sub clinical vaginal warts and this can be settled best by the patient being very honest with the medical attendant (no matter what). If the patient has had the vaginal warts for a long time leaving them untreated and there are multiple lesions, the treatment will be more aggressive than if the patient only has few visible lesions, has had limited sexual partners or has used condoms and protection to their fullest degree.
Vaginal wart treatments can vary at each and every site where there are lesions and every person reacts differently to every treatment. Not all vaginal wart treatments will work for all people and this can be truly frustrating for both the family doctor and the patient. Please try to be patient during treatments for vaginal warts, be honest with your health and lifestyle history, be thorough in checking yourself between every treatment for vaginal warts and treat each new lesion swiftly. Some vaginal wart treatments can be applied by the patient in the privacy of their own homes but others are strictly office or hospital procedures.
Laser Treatment - This treatment for vaginal warts uses the beam of a powerful medical laser to produce intense heat when focused at close range and is used to vaporizethe infected tissues.
Cryotherapy - This vaginal wart treatment is done by applying liquid nitrogen to each and every lesion and is thought to be the best treatment during pregnancy.
If your case is more serious the treatment options for your vaginal warts may well involve hospitalization.
