The nurse should be sure to tell their client. This condition puts her at higher risk for cervical cancer; she should have a Papanicolau (Pap) smear annually. Condylomata Acuminata is a common condition. Annually, it affects about 3 million people. A symptom of this condition is the lesions that grow on the skin. These lesions are discolored and are caused by the human papillomavirus, which is also known as HPV.

This is why it is important for getting a pap smear every year because it tests for these conditions and can also check for cervical cancer. If a person has it, the earlier they get treatment, the better likelihood they can be cured.

Women with condylomata acuminata are at risk for cancer of the cervix and vulva. Yearly Pap smears are very important for early detection. Because condylomata acuminata is a virus, there is no permanent cure. Because it can occur on the vulva, a condom wont protect sexual partners. HPV can be transmitted to her parts of the body, such as the mouth, oropharynx, and larynx.
