What tests should be done for cervical erosion in women? Five tests are necessary to confirm cervical erosion

I believe that many women are unable to discover cervical erosion in time after suffering from the disease, which causes the disease to become more and more serious. So the experts will share with you in detail the examination methods for women suffering from cervical erosion.

1. Gynecological examination, focusing on the size, shape, texture, thickness of the cervical canal, and whether there is contact bleeding. Secondly, check the condition of the vulva, vagina, uterus and paracervical tissues (ovaries, fallopian tubes, pelvic lymph nodes, etc.).

2. Cervical smear cytology examination is a routine gynecological examination. It is simple, easy, cost-effective, and the most important auxiliary examination and the preferred initial screening method for cancer prevention surveys.

3. Colposcopy can quickly detect lesions that are invisible to the naked eye. Taking biopsies from suspicious areas during colposcopy can significantly improve the accuracy of biopsies.

4. The iodine test and naked eye observation method are very simple and inexpensive, and can detect at least 2/3 of the lesions. Currently, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the use of naked eye observation in developing countries as a preliminary screening method for cervical cancer. That is, 3%-5% acetic acid solution is used to smear the cervix. Observe the reaction of the cervical epithelium to acetic acid, and then take a biopsy from the white lesion area.

5. Pathological examination of cervical biopsy tissue is the basis for confirming cervical cancer.

At present, medical experts' research shows that the main cause of cervical cancer is women being infected with human papillomavirus. Therefore, medical scientists are working on developing an economical, efficient and inexpensive human papillomavirus test to screen for early cervical cancer, which is expected to be used in clinical practice soon.

If a woman has a noticeable odor from her private parts in her daily life and feels pain during sexual intercourse, she should go to the hospital for a check-up in time, because this may be a symptom of cervical erosion.
