Calling Your Health Care Provider

Call your doctor if a current or past sexual partner is found to have genital warts. Call if you have visible warts on your external genitals, itching, discharge, or abnormal vaginal bleeding. Keep in mind that genital warts may not appear for months to years after having sexual contact with an infected person.

Teens are very susceptible to HPV. Those having intercourse at a young age should be screened for HPV infection at regular intervals.
