Does HPV cause genital warts?
I heard that the human papillomavirus causes vaginal warts? Is it true? I have bumps down there that I have concluded as being warts. They started to appear maybe like two months ago and won't go away. I've had sex with three people this past year but I'm only in 10th grade so I don't think the guys had any STDs. Anyway, I heard that the HPV causes genital warts. Do I have HPV then if I have these warts?
PS> The bumps are DEFINITELY not from shaving. They don't pop and they don't have like white heads or black heads or anything like pimples usually do. They're in AND around my vagina but I can't guess at how many...a lot. I don't think they're herpes because they won't pop and I looked up herpes online and it says that those go away in a few weeks and usually pop and leak or something. These bumps aren't going away.

Want to answer more questions in the Sexual Health and Reproduction category?
Maybe give some free advice about: STD Information?
its best to see a Doctor and maybe eve a gynocologist. Just cause they are in 10th grade does not mean they do not have a std. I have know many many guys and girls that find out they were carries of stds and wished they could have gotten advice to go see a doctor. when you talk to your dr let them know everything symptoms and when you started to have a sexual life information to the dr will help alot. ask if its necessary to have a pap smear usually its recommended if you have a sexual life or for other medical reasons.
i hope this helps

There are many kinds of HVP, some kinds cause warts. It's very possible you have HPV.
The good news is: Almost none of the kinds of HPV that cause warts, are linked to cancer. So the HPV you have is very likely a low-risk one.
Go to your doctor. They can test you. In some cases they can also remove the warts. They can also advise you on how to move forward knowing you have HPV.
