How is the condition diagnosed?

Abnormalities of the cervix or vagina in women are usually seen on a pelvic exam done by a healthcare provider. PAP smears may be abnormal. If repeated PAP smears are abnormal, colposcopy is often done. A biopsy may also be done of the cervix and vagina to look for any cancerous changes.

Abnormalities of the penis, testicles, or urethra in men are generally seen on physical examination.
