What are Genital warts on the mouth?

Genital warts on the mouth or oral warts are warts that grow in or around your mouth by your lips, tongue, or throat. These genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) which is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). HPV has over 100 strains and a lot of them can cause cancer. Most often strains 6 and 11 cause genital warts on the mouth, but these aren’t linked to cancer. However, high-risk strains such as 16 and 18 can lead to oropharyngeal cancer.

What causes genital warts on the mouth?

Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Oral warts are most often passed on via unprotected oral sex. However, HPV can already be transmitted via close genital contact. So, even if you don’t have sexual intercourse (including oral sex), you can still be infected with the virus by just touching it. That’s why wearing a condom will not 100% prevent the risk of getting HPV.

Diagnosis

If you suspect having genital warts or HPV, please visit a doctor or any other authorized medical professional. The medical professional can verify if you have this condition. The diagnosis of genital warts on the mouth is done by a visual observation, which is completely painless.

Treatments

If the medical professional diagnoses genital warts, they usually will give you two choices:

• Do nothing, in about 90% of the cases HPV is cleared by your immune system within two years.
• Do treatment to get rid of genital warts.

Traditional treatments

Only applicable to external warts

Traditional treatments consist of:

Traditional treatments aim to clear genital warts, but not HPV. The success of the treatments is variable per treatment, but also per person. However, in a lot of cases, treatments have to be repeated, because it’s not successful the first time or genital warts reappear in the future (HPV is still present). Next to that, there are some serious side effects: blisters, burns, and potentially scars.

Home remedies consist of:

Surgery

Surgery consists of:

• Freezing with liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy)

If traditional treatments do not respond or if you’re pregnant, you might need surgery. Effective, but it’s still possible that genital warts will reappear in the future.
