Description

Intra-anal warts are benign growths that occur in the anal region, often caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). These warts can be asymptomatic but may cause discomfort or irritation in some individuals.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that patients may refer to these warts using various terms, such as 'verrugas anales' or 'verrugas genitales', which are colloquial and should be avoided in formal contexts. It's important to maintain a clinical tone and ensure the patient understands the medical terminology being used.

Example Sentences

EN: The patient was diagnosed with intra-anal warts after experiencing discomfort in the anal area.

ES: El paciente fue diagnosticado con verrugas intraanal después de experimentar molestias en la zona anal.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing with anal fissures; mispronouncing 'intraanal'; using colloquial terms instead of the clinical term.
