The surface is uneven and has a papillary, mushroom or cauliflower shape, and may have a pedicle. The causes of cervical warts include:

1. The main cause of cervical warts is direct contact infection, which accounts for more than 90% of the incidence rate.

2. Indirect contact transmission, such as wearing the same underwear, sharing the same bedding and utensils for cleaning the genitals, etc., may all lead to indirect transmission.

3. Patients with genital warts virus or virus carriers can easily transmit the virus to their sexual partners through sexual intercourse, which is also one of the causes of cervical warts.

4. Infection is caused by the vulva skin and mucous membrane coming into contact with dirty objects, such as unclean bath towels, bathtubs, underwear, and incomplete disinfection of medical supplies.

5. Failure to pay attention to daily care and hygiene of the genitals may lead to bacterial invasion and may also be the cause of cervical warts.
