How to check cervical erosion

Cervical erosion refers to ectopia of the cervical columnar epithelium, which can be examined through gynecological examination, cervical smear, cervical tissue biopsy, etc.

Examination method of cervical columnar epithelium ectopia:

1. Gynecological examination: If you suspect symptoms of cervical columnar epithelium ectopia, you can go to the hospital and have the doctor use a dilator to expose the cervix. Granularity and suspected erosion symptoms may be observed on the surface of the cervix.

2. Cervical smear: Cervical smear can obtain specimens of cervical surface epithelial cells and perform cytological examination to determine whether columnar epithelial ectopia exists.

3. Cervical biopsy: Cervical biopsy is a histological examination of cervical tissue specimens to determine whether there is columnar epithelial ectopia. Although this detection method has a high accuracy rate, it requires local anesthesia and tissue sampling, which may cause some discomfort and pain to women. Therefore, it is recommended to be performed only when there is suspected cervical lesions or persistent high-risk HPV infection.

Things to note about cervical columnar epithelium ectopia:

The cause of cervical columnar epithelium ectopia in some women is a normal physiological phenomenon caused by abnormal estrogen secretion in the body. Therefore, after the detection of cervical columnar epithelium ectopia, you should cooperate with the doctor to find out the cause. If it is diagnosed as a physiological factor, no intervention treatment is required. However, if it is related to pathological factors such as cervicitis and human papillomavirus infection, it should be treated in a standardized manner according to the specific cause of the disease and the doctor's advice.
