Symptoms other than warts

was wondering if hpv infection can cause obvious symptoms other than warts. I know some hpv affects the soft moist mucosal tissues. What about stomach and digestion issues. It seem that from what i read the tissues that hpv affects it the same in the mouth,, vagina and intestines

what i meant to say i guess is i know strains like hpv 16,18 don't show warts but change cell structure and is connected to cancer.

i read  more than a handful of posts in the STD forums of men with symptoms especially bowel and digestive symptoms like loose stools and bowel noises after an exposure.

now since the tissues of the cervix and intestines are similar was wondering if these symptoms they are experiencing are in someway connected to hpv 16 18

Warts for the most part (Of course some types of HPV have been linked to cancers), and only in parts of the body that were directly exposed. So when you read intestines, think rectum.
