If a man suspects condyloma acuminatum, he can be tested for HPV if necessary. But if there are no verrucous growths, there is no need to check for HPV, and there are no alternative ways to check for HPV. HPV is the smallest DNA virus, can withstand drying and can be stored for a long time. The human body is the only natural host of HPV, and HPV can only reproduce in the living tissue cells of the human body. Clinical detection of HPV virus can be carried out by polymerase chain reaction, which can type HPV target DNA. If necessary, pathological examination can also be selected, which is the main basis for diagnosis of HPV infection, but no vacuolar cells are shown, and condyloma acuminatum cannot be ruled out.
