Which is the most reliable method for diagnosing cervical warts?

The sudden onset of cervical warts makes people feel overwhelmed, makes the originally happy and peaceful family no longer peaceful, and makes the patient suffer a double blow physically and mentally. According to experts, if cervical warts are not treated in time, they will also cause cancer. So, how can we diagnose the existence of cervical warts at an early stage?

How are cervical warts diagnosed?

Experts say that common inspection methods for cervical warts are: 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.

Immunohistological examination: The peroxidase antiperoxidase method (PAP) is commonly used to show viral proteins in condylomata, to prove the presence of viral antigens in warts. When HPV protein is positive, a weak red positive reaction may appear in the superficial epithelial cells of cervical condylomata.

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 extension of the epidermal protrusions, and the degree of hyperplasia may be similar to pseudoepithelioma.

Acetic acid whitening test: The principle of this test is the result of protein coagulation and acid whitening. The keratin produced by HPV-infected cells is different from that produced by normal uninfected epithelial cells, and only the former can be decolorized by acetic acid. The US CDC points out that the acetic acid whitening test is not a specific test, and false positives are common.

From the above reports, I believe everyone knows how to diagnose condyloma. Authoritative experts say that "there is a cause before there is an effect", so everyone should popularize the common sense of cervical condyloma in daily life to prevent it from taking advantage of the opportunity. Stay away from the source of infection of cervical condyloma, keep the disease away from yourself, and avoid threats to your health.
