Description

Genital warts of scrotum are benign growths caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). They typically appear as small, flesh-colored or gray growths and can occur on the scrotum or surrounding areas.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that patients may refer to genital warts using various terms, including 'verrugas' or 'verrugas genitales', which are more colloquial. It's important to maintain a formal register and use the canonical term 'Warts genitales de escroto' in clinical contexts to avoid confusion.

Example Sentences

ES: El paciente fue diagnosticado con warts genitales de escroto después de presentar múltiples crecimientos.

Common Interpreter Mistakes
