Genital warts can have several effects and risks when it comes to transmission to a partner and the potential for worsening of the condition:

Transmission to Partner: Genital warts are highly contagious and can easily be transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. If one partner has genital warts, there is a high risk of passing the infection to the other partner.

Worsening of the Condition: Without treatment, genital warts can grow in size and number, leading to increased discomfort and potential complications. Worsening of the condition can also occur if the warts are repeatedly irritated or injured, such as during sexual activity.

Increased Risk of Complications: Genital warts are caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), which can also increase the risk of developing other health complications, including certain types of cancers. While most cases of genital warts do not lead to cancer, it's important to monitor the condition and seek appropriate medical care.

Impact on Sexual Health: Genital warts can have a significant impact on sexual health and relationships. They may cause physical discomfort, affect body image and self-esteem, and lead to concerns about transmission to sexual partners.
