Wart Diagnosis

Diagnosis of Warts and HPV Infections

Accurate diagnosis of warts and HPV infections is essential for proper treatment and follow-up.

  • HPV Test: A laboratory test that detects the presence of HPV. It provides information about the type of infection and associated risk.

  • Pap Smear: A sample of cells taken from the cervix is examined to detect warts or cellular changes.

  • Colposcopy: A detailed examination of the cervix and genital area, where lesions are magnified for close observation.

  • ASCUS: Refers to mild abnormal cell changes detected in a smear, which require monitoring.

  • ASCH: More significant cellular changes detected via smear or colposcopy; detailed evaluation is performed.

  • CIN 1, 2, 3: Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grading that indicates the severity of cellular changes caused by HPV.

Proper application of these diagnostic methods is important for early detection of infection and prevention of complications. Detailed information can be found under each subheading.
