Testing

Usually the physician can tell just by looking at the infected area whether or not you have genital warts. The doctor can also pour a diluted vinegar solution on the warts and they will turn white, which lets him know that they are present. If it is not clear than he may use a diagnostic procedure called colposcopy, which is a magnifying procedure. Also when you have an abnormal pap smear, it may indicate that you have genital warts.
