How to check cervical warts?

Cervical warts are currently a very serious sexually transmitted disease, which is highly contagious. If people are found to have cervical warts, they must go to the hospital for treatment in time to recover. The incidence of cervical warts is very high now, so it is very necessary to know some methods of checking cervical warts. So, how can we check if we have cervical warts? Let's take a detailed look at the methods of checking cervical warts!

Methods of medical examination for cervical warts:

(I) Cytological examination

Cytological smears can show hollow cells, dyskeratotic cells or parakeratotic cells and outer basal cells of condyloma. This test has high specificity but low sensitivity.

(ii) Acetic acid test

When acetic acid is applied to the tissue surface, the infected tissue will turn white after 3 to 5 minutes (positive), and the normal tissue will not change color (negative). However, the acetic acid test has a certain false positive effect when there is inflammation on the skin.

(III) Colposcopy

It helps to find subclinical lesions, especially cervical lesions. After the cervix is ​​coated with 3% acetic acid solution, the lesions can be seen as many finger-like protrusions, each with a central vascular loop under the translucent epidermis; the epithelium inside and outside the transition zone is shiny white, or white patches, with uneven surface, and dot-like blood vessels in the shape of a flower bed or tiny mosaics.

If the lesion is obvious, with the surface covered with burrs or coral-like protrusions, after applying acetic acid, the tissue will swell and turn white like snow.

(IV) Pathological examination

It is mainly squamous epithelial hyperplasia, which grows in a papillary manner, often accompanied by elongation and widening of the epithelial legs. The surface cells are parakeratotic or hyperkeratotic; the spinous cell layer is highly proliferative, and the appearance of hollow cells is a characteristic change of HPV infection. Basal cell hyperplasia, dermal papillary edema, capillary dilation, and chronic inflammatory cell infiltration around.

Regarding the question of whether blood routine can detect cervical warts, I hope that through the above introduction, everyone has some understanding. So, today I will introduce it here, and I hope it will be helpful to everyone. This is also a method commonly used by major hospitals with a high accuracy rate. Patients with cervical warts should actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment in order to recover better and faster.
