Warts and Pregnancy

Warts During Pregnancy and in Newborns

The presence of warts during pregnancy raises specific considerations and requires attention for both the mother and the baby.

• Warts in Pregnancy: Hormonal changes and alterations in the immune system during pregnancy may cause warts to grow or spread. Treatment methods should be selected carefully to be safe for pregnancy.

• Warts in Newborns: In rare cases, warts can be transmitted from mother to baby during birth. When warts do occur in newborns, they are usually mild and treatable.

Monitoring by a healthcare professional is important when warts are present during pregnancy. Proper follow-up and precautions can help prevent complications. Detailed information can be found under the relevant subheadings.
