What tests should women with cervical warts do?

Cervical warts are not only an infectious disease, but also one of the STDs with a relatively high recurrence rate. Suffering from cervical warts often brings a lot of inconvenience to the patient's life and work, and also causes physical harm to the patient. Therefore, it is very important to understand cervical warts early. So how to check for cervical warts?

How to check for cervical warts

1. Immunohistological examination: The peroxidase anti-peroxidase method is commonly used to show the viral protein in cervical warts to prove that there are viral antigens in the wart lesions. When the HPV protein is positive, a weak positive reaction of light red may appear in the superficial epithelial cells of cervical warts.

2. Viral wart antibody test: HPV is still difficult to detect using traditional virus culture and serological techniques, and the main experimental diagnostic technology is nucleic acid hybridization. The PCR method developed in recent years has the advantages of specificity, sensitivity, simplicity, and rapidity, opening up a new way for HPV detection.

3. Histochemical examination: Take a small amount of lesion tissue to make a smear and stain it with specific anti-human papillomavirus antibodies. If there is a viral antigen in the lesion, the antigen and antibody will bind. In the peroxidase antiperoxidase (PAP) method, the nucleus can be stained red. This method is highly specific and rapid, which is helpful for diagnosis.

4. Pathological examination: Pathological examination is a highly accurate method in the examination of cervical warts. It starts with the symptoms of cervical warts and determines whether it is cervical warts through examination. Pathological examination mainly shows parakeratosis, hypertrophy of the spinous layer, papilloma-like hyperplasia, thickening and elongation of the epidermal protrusions, and the degree of hyperplasia may be similar to pseudo-epithelioma.
