Pregnancy and Genital Warts


Genital warts or subclinical HPV do not affect a woman’s ability to get pregnant but pregnancy itself can sometimes trigger an outbreak if you have a dormant HPV infection, or it can make an active infection worse.Pregnant Women

Genital warts may also appear for the first time, or grow larger, during pregnancy because of the effects of hormones. The warts may cause a number of problems during pregnancy and in some rare cases, they can be transmitted from a mother to her baby during childbirth.
