Condyloma, also known as genital warts
Condyloma, also known as genital warts, are warts that typically develop in the genital area of women and men. They are caused by the human papillomavirus, which is transmitted through sexual contact, such as intercourse, oral sex or hands. Condoms and dental dams are partially protective but do not provide full protection. A previous condyloma infection does not provide protection against a new infection. However, HPV vaccines can help to prevent the onset of condyloma.
Symptoms of genital warts or condyloma
The symptoms of condyloma vary from person to person and occur differently in men and women. Many people with an infection do not have any visible symptoms, which is why it is a good idea to get tested if you suspect an infection.
Symptoms of condyloma in men
Condyloma can cause symptoms such as warts in the glans penis, the body of the penis, the anal region or the scrotum, for example. Some people with an infection have no visible symptoms of condyloma. It can take months or even years from the infection for the symptoms and warts to appear.
Symptoms of condyloma in women
Women may experience condyloma in the vulva or the vagina. HPV infections are almost always asymptomatic in women and the infection caused by the papillomavirus can be found as a random finding with an HPV test or a Pap smear. Your gynaecologist will provide you with further details of the treatment and how often the Pap smear should be performed.
Treatment of genital warts or condyloma
Condyloma in women can be detected, for example, at a gynaecologist's examination and, in men, in a doctor's examination. HPV infections cannot be detected with blood tests. Condyloma in the genital area can be treated by topical treatment, cryotherapy or laser therapy.

Frequently asked questions about condyloma
Condyloma, or genital warts, is a wart usually found in the genital area. Condyloma can occur in women and men. Condyloma is caused by the human papillomavirus, which is transmitted through sex.
In women, HPV infections are almost always asymptomatic. A condyloma can develop in the vulva or vagina and be discovered at random with an HPV test or in a Pap smear. In some cases, men with an HPV infection do not develop any visible warts, but for some, the virus can cause warts in the glans penis, the body of the penis, the anal region or the scrotum, for example. It can take months or even years from the infection for the warts to appear. If you detect any warts that resemble condyloma, you may book an appointment with your personal gynaecologist or dermatovenereologist.
The human papillomavirus that causes condyloma is transmitted through sex, such as intercourse, oral sex or hands. Condoms and dental dams are partially protective but do not provide full protection. Only HPV vaccines can prevent the onset of the disease.
HPV infections cannot be detected with laboratory tests, but condyloma can be detected in a doctor's clinical examination, for example, at a gynaecologist's examination.
