Condyloma is commonly called genital warts.
It is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused be the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).
It is spread by skin to skin contact.
Condylomas can be found on the external or internal genital areas of men and women.
Condyloma may not be apparent for 2 to 3 months or even longer after being infected by the HPV virus.
Condyloma usually starts out as small bumps either singularly or in a group and may have a "cauliflower" look.
Most of the time the individual will have no symptoms unless the virus has been active without treatment for some time.
The most common symptoms if present are pain, itching, or burning with intercourse.
Condyloma can only be treated, not cured.
There are treatments that destroy the majority of contaminated cells and decreases the rate of recurrence.
