During the initial screening of cervical cancer, 3%-5% acetic acid solution can be used to smear the cervix, and then observe the reaction of the cervical epithelium to acetic acid, and finally take a biopsy from the white lesion area.

3. Colposcopy is the most direct way to detect chronic cervicitis. It can detect lesions that are invisible to the naked eye. Biopsy can be taken from suspicious areas during colposcopy, which can significantly improve the accuracy of the biopsy.

4. Gynecological examination, including checking the size, shape, texture of the cervix, the thickness of the cervical canal, and whether there is contact bleeding. In addition, check the vulva, vagina, uterus and paracervical tissues, such as ovaries, fallopian tubes, pelvic lymph nodes, etc., to better understand the condition.
