Warts both inside an: d outside your body and can be in many locations - in vagina, at anus, in rectum, etc. they can be microscopic in size so you may not see them with the naked eye until they grow to large size.

You should see them: The HPV strains that are high risk seldom have visible signs, but may show changes on a pap smear or internal exam.The strains that produce genital warts will rarely be un-noticed. In fact their common pattern includes scattered warts on the genital surfaces of the labia or penis. You can certainly acquire more than one HPV strains during sex.The current vaccines cover 2-9 strains.

Colposcopy: The American Cancer Society 2012 Clinical Guidelines recommend women who test positive for HPV 16/18 should have a colposcopy. Colposcopy is when your OB/GYN uses a special microscope/ camera to visualize your cervix, vagina, & vulva and any areas of concern can be biopsied.Your OB/GYN will guide you through this process and explain it. Your OB/GYN can also examine you for warts during exam.
