Genital warts are most commonly caused by the Human papillomavirus (HPV), particularly low-risk strains such as types 6 and 11. These warts are generally not fatal and, in most cases, do not lead to serious health complications in men. However, certain high-risk HPV strains (different from those causing visible warts) are associated with cancers, though this is relatively uncommon. Genital warts may remain small, increase in size or number, or sometimes regress over time. In a proportion of individuals, the immune system can suppress the virus, leading to spontaneous disappearance of warts over months to a couple of years. That said, the virus can still remain in the body even if warts are no longer visible, and transmission to partners is possible.
Next Steps
If you notice any wart-like growths in the genital area, it is advisable to seek a clinical evaluation to confirm the diagnosis and assess the extent. Even though they are not life-threatening, timely attention helps prevent spread and recurrence. Avoid self-manipulation or attempting to remove the lesions at home, as this may worsen the condition or cause infection. Maintain open communication with your partner and practice safe sexual habits to reduce transmission risk.

Health Tips
Focus on strengthening overall immunity and maintaining genital hygiene. Keep the affected area clean and dry, wear loose and breathable undergarments, and avoid sharing personal items like towels. Limiting multiple sexual partners and using protection can reduce further spread. A balanced lifestyle with proper sleep, stress management, and a wholesome diet supports the bodyâs natural ability to control viral infections. Regular awareness and early attention to any new or recurring lesions play an important role in long-term health. Thank you
