I want to quickly diagnose my condition, but I feel embarrassed to go to the hospital for examination.

Health Self Test for Genital Warts II. Acetic Acid White Test

Abnormal appearance of warts can rely on the acetic acid white test for health self testing. The acetic acid white test can be done at home by preparing 3% -5% acetic acid (the concentration of edible white vinegar is 4% -6%, which can be used as a genital warts identification solution). Apply gauze or tissue soaked in white vinegar onto the growing growths, and observe whether the protrusions turn white after 3-5 minutes (the warts in the anal area take 10-15 minutes). If there is a significant whitening of the growths after health self testing, it can be diagnosed as genital warts. If the health self-test results of genital warts are not obvious, further histopathological examination can be conducted at the hospital for diagnosis. If characteristic hollow cells can be detected, it can be diagnosed as genital warts.

It should be noted that relying on blood tests to diagnose genital warts has no scientific basis and is also inaccurate. Regular large hospitals generally do not adopt this diagnostic method. Experts from Shaanxi Reproductive Medicine Hospital also suggest that when patients are diagnosed with genital warts through self testing, they should seek treatment at the hospital as soon as possible to protect their own and their family's health.
