Condylomatoses vulvovaginales et périnéales pendant la grossesse

Condyloma (or anogenital/venereal warts) are linked to infection by low oncogenic risk Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). Serotypes 6 and 11 are found in 70 to 100% of anogenital condyloma. It is considered that more than 60% of new infections occur in the 5 years following the onset of sexual activity. Pregnancy, requiring regular monitoring from a midwife or obstetrician, is an opportune time for screening. Nowadays, in France, the average age for a first pregnancy is 29 (National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies [INSEE]), which places a large proportion of pregnant women in an age group at high risk of condylomata lata and cervical dysplasia (HPV-induced) given that the average age of onset is 30. Treatment, restricted by pregnancy, rarely constitutes an emergency and the role of the professional includes addressing the risk factors and educating the patient about this condition.
