A Urologist’s Wart Schpeel to Patients
My wart schpeel
I see a fair number patient consults for “rule-out HPV” or “rule-out warts.” The typical scenario is the following:
A woman goes to her gynecologist for a routine Pap smear and is told that the results came back positive for HPV. She is then told by her doctor to have her male partner “checked-out.”
What does all that mean and what really happened at that patient’s doctor visit?
