What tests should women do for cervical erosion? 6 tests can help you screen for cervical erosion

Cervical disease is a very common gynecological problem, especially cervical erosion, which troubles many women of childbearing age. Many women do not understand the symptoms of the disease and do not know what tests to take when they feel uncomfortable, which ultimately delays the treatment. Therefore, if symptoms such as increased leucorrhea, stickiness, and abdominal pain occur, you should go to the hospital for examination in time and receive scientific treatment. So, what tests should be done for cervical erosion?

1. Colposcopy

Magnifying the lesions of the cervix, pelvis and other areas by 40 times can accurately locate the lesions, quickly discover lesions that are invisible to the naked eye, and take biopsies of suspicious areas during colposcopy, which can significantly improve the accuracy of biopsies.

2. Cervical smear test

To diagnose cervical erosion, cervical smear examination is the simplest and most effective method. By obtaining cervical tissue, the possibility of cervical erosion and cervical cancer can be screened early to reduce the harm of the disease. If necessary, a cervical biopsy can be performed.

3. Gynecological examination

Gynecological examination is also needed to diagnose cervical erosion. Improved examination can focus on understanding the health of the cervix. It can be done to see whether there is contact bleeding in the cervix, whether there are any abnormalities in the texture and shape of the cervix, whether there are any growths, etc.

4. TCT cervical cytology examination

This is a common gynecological examination, which is the abbreviation of liquid-based thin-layer cytology. It is currently the most advanced cervical cancer cell cytology examination technology in the world. It uses a liquid-based thin-layer cytology detection system to detect cervical cells and perform TBS cytology classification diagnosis. The TCT examination can distinguish a large number of surface exfoliated cells and can detect more precancerous lesions. The detection rate of cancer cells is 100%, and microbial infections such as fungi, Trichomonas, and Chlamydia can also be detected.

5. Conduct an iodine test

The use of iodine for testing is not only highly accurate, but also simple, convenient and inexpensive. This method mainly involves applying 3%-5% acetic acid solution on the cervix and observing the reaction of the cervical epithelium with the naked eye. If white lesions appear, samples can be taken from the area for testing. It is simple and cheap, but it can detect at least two-thirds of the lesions.

6. Cervical biopsy

It is the main basis for diagnosing cervical cancer, and its accurate diagnostic results can provide doctors with reliable clinical basis. Generally speaking, doctors use this examination mainly to find out whether the patient has cervical cancer.
