To estimate the burden of genital warts (GW)in Mexico.
We estimated the annual incidence of GW based on data reported by specialist physicians. We also assessed GW treatment practices, the average cost of treatment, and the psychosocial burden of GW among patients.
The annual incidence of GW in Mexico was estimated to be 547 200 cases. Treatment procedures vary by specialist and patient gender. The estimated annual cost was $195 million USD. The psychosocial impact of GW was slightly greater in males than females.
This is the first evaluation of the burden of GW in Mexico. Our data suggest that GW are common, with significant health-related costs and psychosocial impact.

我们根据专科医生报告的数据估算了GW的年发病率。我们还评估了GW的治疗方法、平均治疗成本以及患者中GW的社会心理负担。
墨西哥GW的年发病率估计为547200例。治疗方法因专科医生和患者性别而异。估计每年的成本为1.95亿美元。GW对男性的社会心理影响略大于女性。
这是对墨西哥GW负担的首次评估。我们的数据表明，GW很常见，会产生重大的健康相关成本和社会心理影响。
