How to check HPV virus

There are 70-80% of the people without any sensory lesions, which is equivalent to hepatitis B virus carriers, their own resistance, the virus has no space to take advantage of, but need to pay close attention to. HPV infection caused cervical disease, need to be treated as soon as possible, after cure to regularly review, don't let the virus latent in the body.

Second: can be colposcopic examination, colposcope is a special magnifying glass, mainly used for the observation of cervical and vaginal mucosa, can be used for the examination of vulva and vaginal epithelium. Colposcopy can magnify the cervical manifestations 20-40 times, which is very helpful for subclinical infection of cervical epithelium, early detection and early diagnosis of precancerous lesions. Patients should avoid vaginal flushing and sexual intercourse 24 hours before examination. It is helpful to find subclinical infection of HPV by colposcopy after 3 minutes application of gauze soaked in 3% - 5% acetic acid solution. For clear white patches or spots, further histopathological examination should be performed. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia can be divided into three grades.

Third: can also be histopathological examination, epidermis was papilloma like hyperplasia, spinous layer hypertrophy. There were mild hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis on the surface. Vacuolized cells can be seen in the spinous cells and granular layer. The cell body is large, with a round and deeply stained nucleus, vacuolized and lightly stained around the nucleus. There are filaments connected between the nuclear membrane and serosa, making the cells look like cat's eyes. Vacuolized cells are characteristic findings of condyloma acuminatum, especially in the middle and upper layer of spinous cells. In the superficial dermis, there was medium density infiltration around blood vessels, mainly lymphocytes and plasma cells. The dermal papilla was dilated and widened.
