2. Itching and Discomfort: The Annoying Associates
While genital warts can be visually inconspicuous at times, the sensation of itching or general discomfort in the genital area can act as a tell-tale sign of their presence.
The itching is not always constant but can flare up at times, especially in warm, humid conditions. This can be particularly bothersome during daily activities or intimate moments, leading many to seek medical advice.
Discomfort, on the other hand, isn’t necessarily pain. It’s more about a nagging sensation, a feeling that something isn’t quite right in the genital region. This can range from a light tingling sensation to a more pronounced feeling of unease. (2)
