Can genital warts be seen during gynecological examination

The warts of genital warts can usually be directly observed in gynecological examinations. Genital warts are a sexually transmitted disease caused by human papillomavirus infection, and the warts often grow in the external genitalia, vagina, cervix, and other areas. During gynecological examinations, doctors will use a speculum to fully expose the vagina and cervix, and typical cauliflower or papillary growths can be detected through visual observation. For small warts, doctors may assist with the acetic acid white test for diagnosis, which involves applying a 5% acetic acid solution to the suspicious area and observing if it turns white. Vaginal examination can magnify and observe subtle lesions in the cervix and vaginal wall, and can more clearly display the morphological characteristics of warts. Some warts located deep in the vagina or within the cervical canal may require HPV testing for diagnosis.

It is recommended that patients undergo regular gynecological examinations, keep their external genitalia clean and dry, and avoid unclean sexual behavior. After diagnosis, it is recommended to actively cooperate with doctors for treatment, and it is also suggested that sexual partners undergo joint examinations. In daily life, attention should be paid to enhancing immunity, ensuring sufficient sleep, and supplementing vitamins and proteins appropriately, which can help with disease recovery.
