Whenever a wart appears in any part of our body, we consider it a minor problem and leave it as it is. But do you know that, if the wart is around some special parts of the body like genitals, anus, throat and mouth, then it can be a sign of a big danger. That is, you will not even know and it will become the cause of cancer. Therefore, it is very important to be alert in such a situation.
Reason behind warts
Warts are actually small, hard lumps on the skin, which are formed due to virus in the upper part of the skin. When these warts are on normal places like hands, feet or neck, then there is no need to worry. But when they start appearing near the genitals, anus, throat and mouth, then it is considered a danger bell.
When should you be alert?
If you see a wart near the genitals or anus, which is growing rapidly, bleeding, causing pain or itching, or changing color, then do not take it lightly at all. Similarly, if warts appear inside the throat or mouth, contact the doctor immediately.
Women need special vigilance
This danger is more serious for women, because it is considered to be the main cause of cervical cancer. If warts appear near the vagina or uterus, then without delay meet a gynecologist and get the necessary tests done.
How to prevent?
Nowadays HPV vaccine is available, which can be given to girls and boys between the ages of 9-26 years.
Use condoms while having sex and take care of your partner's health.
If you see such warts, go to the doctor without delay.
It is never wise to take warts lightly, especially when they are in sensitive places. Consulting a doctor in time and getting tested can protect your health from serious diseases. If you or someone close to you is facing such a problem, then it is important to talk to a doctor.
