For Genital Lesions: Show While You Tell

It is sometimes difficult for women with genital warts to visualize their lesions. Offer patients a hand-held mirror so that they can see what the lesions look like, and recommend that they use a similar mirror at home to monitor the lesions' size and number. This is especially important when a conservative treatment approach is chosen. The mirror can also be used to teach vaginal self-examination.
