Some providers recommend cesarean sections for any vaginal lesion that may be transmitted sexually during birth. This is especially true of Herpes Simplex vaginal infections that occur during the last 2 weeks of pregnancy. However, the evidence does not support a cesarean for everyone with genital warts. The size, location, and severity of your warts may affect your provider's decision to recommend a primary cesarean section for this condition. If you are uncomfortable with this recommendation, perhaps you should have a conversation with your health care provider about their reasons for this method of delivery. Good luck with your upcoming delivery!
