Genital warts are one of the causes of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the world. Genital Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) virus."HPV causes more than 70% of all cases of cervical cancer. HPV causes changes in the cells in the cervix on the transformation zone. These changes will eventually become cancerous if they are not removed. Surgery is the only option. These changes in the cervical cells are only picked up in the early stages by pap smears. It is imperative that women of all ages wg are sexually active have pap smears, even women in happy marriages." (ezinearticles.com/?Top-10-Facts-about-Warts&id=406158)
