Common symptoms of genital HPV strains are genital warts and precancerous genital lesions. Genital warts are noncancerous and appear as a flat lesion, a small cauliflower-like bump, or a stem-like protrusion. In women these warts most commonly appear on the vulva, but they may be found near the anus, on the cervix, or in the vagina. In men, the warts may appear on the penis and scrotum or around the anus. Genital warts are not known to cause pain or discomfort.
Certain HPV infections can cause cellular changes that result in precancerous lesions in women. A Pap test most often detects these abnormalities. Persistent infections (those that last more than 2 years) create a greater risk for cancer. Abnormal vaginal bleeding is a common symptom of cervical cancer.
