Female genital warts are epithelial proliferative lesions caused by human papillomavirus infection and are one of the important sexually transmitted diseases. Warm and moist vulvar skin and mucous membranes are conducive to their growth and reproduction, forming vulvar or vaginal condyloma acuminatum.

However, not all vulvar growths are genital warts. The average incubation period of genital warts in women is 2 to 3 months. The development of the lesions is not self-limiting. Symptoms include local itching and pain. A small number of patients are asymptomatic. Growth sites: vulva, vagina, cervix, and perianal area. It is common for two sites to occur at the same time. Local manifestations include small reddish or gray papules, which are wart-like protrusions and often fuse to form cauliflower-like growths. There is a history of sexual promiscuity. The lesions turn white after application of 5% acetic acid.

The incubation period of pseudocondyloma is 3 days to 3 weeks. It is self-limited and generally asymptomatic. Some cases have local itching. It is often symmetrically distributed on the labia minora on both sides. It is rare for two parts to occur at the same time. The lesions are small caviar or pearl-like papules. Some are polyp-like or villous. They do not fuse. There is no history of promiscuity. They do not turn white after applying 5% acetic acid. The cause is still unclear, but some believe it is related to multiple hormones, fungal infections or other chronic irritations.
