Symptoms

Genital and perianal warts are small growths that appear on the genitals and/or near the anus. Those around the anus are called perianal warts. Genital or perianal warts may be raised or flat, single or multiple, small or large.

If you have EGWs, you may have:

  • Small, flesh-colored or gray swellings in your genital and/or anal area
  • Several warts close together that take on a cauliflower-like shape
  • Itching or discomfort in your genital and/or anal area
  • Bleeding when you have sexual intercourse

Who gets EGWs?

Any sexually active person can get genital and/or perianal warts. They can affect people of any age, race, social class or sexual preference.

If you have sex with an infected person just once, you have a 60% chance of getting EGWs.
