Question: ok I am a 61 year old male about to go for my first colonoscopy. On the medical form that I filled out I stated that at 25 I had hepatitis A and a year later I had rectal warts. I had them surgically rmoved at the time and never thought about it since then. ( 35 years ago. I get a physical every year, total blood work digital exam ect.......I am married 32 years and my wife has never had an abnormal pap smear. My question is why when the colonoscopy doctor saw that I had anal warts removed 33 years ago the only question was did you have anal. I said no and he said ok ill do a whole rectal exam before the colonoscopy> Is it proven that all rectal warts can only be gotten sexually from the hpv virus.......My doctor is an internist and when she does the prsoate exam she probes around for a long time. Wouldn't she have noticed something......sorry that was the second question
