VIVA – Genital warts or also known as Genital Warts is a disease experienced by women both inside and outside the female area such as the vulva, vaginal opening and cervix (cervix). This disease is often underestimated by women because it does not cause significant symptoms and the feminine area is difficult to reach with your own eyes.
Genital warts are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), a type of sexually transmitted infection (STI). Transmission Genital warts can occur through direct sexual contact, indirectly through objects contaminated with HPV and can even be transmitted from mother to baby during childbirth.

Please note that Genital Warts in pregnant women will be more easily spread so that more and more. Therefore, even after treatment, genital warts can grow back. Usually the maximum treatment will be done after delivery.
“During pregnancy, Genital Warts will become more numerous because they are easy to spread. So even though it has been treated, genital warts in pregnant women will grow again. Therefore, it is better to postpone the treatment until after giving birth so that it is all together because it will not be too dangerous, “ clear dr. Amelia Soebyanto, Dermatologist and Venereologist from Pramudia Clinic to VIVA on Friday, June 17, 2022.
As previously explained, transmission of Genital Warts to babies can also occur through mothers to babies born during the birth process, especially during the normal delivery process.
Transmission of Genital Warts in babies can occur because of the high risk of HPV through blisters or sores that have mixed with blood when the baby comes out of the vaginal area.
“When giving birth normally, usually there will be abrasions and minor (not visible) wounds. When the wound is mixed with blood during normal delivery, the baby is at a higher risk of contracting HPV,” he said. clear dr. Amelia again.
Therefore, it would be better for women who already feel they are experiencing symptoms of Genital Warts to deal with it quickly and precisely before it gets worse. Moreover, transmission of Genital Warts to babies can also occur and can even transform into cervical cancer if the virus is already at high risk.
