What are the associated risks between genital warts and pregnancy?

Condylomas can cause numerous problems during pregnancy:

- Accelerated growth of warts: Due to the hormonal and immune system changes of pregnancy, genital warts may increase in size and number, which could cause discomfort or complications during childbirth or make urination difficult.

- Transmission to the newborn: Although rare, there is a possibility that HPV can be transmitted to the baby during vaginal delivery, which could lead to warts in the newborn's throat, a condition known as recurrent respiratory papillomatosis.

It is essential that pregnant women with genital warts maintain regular medical follow-up to properly assess and manage these risks, ensuring both their health and that of their baby.
