Description

Perianal warts are benign growths that occur around the anal region, often caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can be uncomfortable and may require treatment if they cause symptoms or cosmetic concerns.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that patients may refer to perianal warts using colloquial terms or may confuse them with other types of warts. It is important to maintain a clinical tone and avoid informal language. Stick to the glossary term 'verrugas perianales' in formal contexts.
