What Risk Does Condylomata Involve During Pregnancy?

Condylomata, or genital warts, are found both in women and men and are contagious by skin-to-skin contact. They can be treated by burning them off with medication you can apply yourself (you need to get the medication from a doctor- examples are Imiquimod, Podophyllin and some others) or a doctor can burn or freeze them off for you. A GYN doctor is the right kind of doctor who will be skilled in treating this condition.
Condylomata do not pose a risk for pregnancy and it is not recommended to have a c-section to avoid baby's contact with them at birth. However, the hormones of pregnancy can make them grow quite large, which can possible be uncomfortable or block the introitus (vaginal opening).
Therefore, I recommend you try to have the warts treated and removed before becoming pregnant to minimize the chance of problems.
I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today and that my advice was helpful.
Best wishes, Dr. Brown
