Description

Anogenital warts are benign growths caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). They typically appear in the genital and anal areas and can be transmitted through sexual contact.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that patients may refer to anogenital warts using various terms, including 'verrugas genitales' or 'verrugas venéreas', which are colloquial and should be avoided in formal contexts. It is important to maintain a clinical tone and ensure that the correct terminology is used throughout the interpretation.

Example Sentences

EN: The patient was diagnosed with anogenital warts after a thorough examination.

ES: El paciente fue diagnosticado con verrugas anogenitales tras un examen exhaustivo.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing with 'verrugas comunes'; mispronouncing 'anogenital'; using informal terms instead of clinical terminology.
