3 steps to diagnose cervical erosion

Cervical erosion is a gynecological disease that causes a lot of trouble for women. The clinical diagnosis is mainly based on the following three examination items.

1. Routine gynecological examination

Routine gynecological examinations mainly include two aspects: routine leucorrhea testing. If the patient has vaginitis, it should be determined what kind of pathogen is the cause of the infection; cervical examination, such as understanding the size, shape, texture of the cervix and the thickness of the cervical canal, and performing cervical smear cytology examination, which is to apply 3%-5% acetic acid solution on the cervical smear. The reaction of the cervical epithelium to acetic acid and the biopsy results of the white lesion area can not only assist in the diagnosis of cervical erosion, but also effectively screen for cervical cancer.

2. Colposcopy

Colposcopy mainly involves magnifying the cervix 20 to 40 times, visually understanding the condition of the cervix with the naked eye, and observing changes in the cervical epithelium with the assistance of iodine and vinegar to assist in the diagnosis of cervical erosion and examine the condition of the vulva, vagina, and uterus, determine the severity of cervical erosion, and understand whether the lesions involve the fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity.

3. TCT examination

The so-called TCT test, namely liquid-based thin-layer cell test, is mainly used to exclude cervical erosion cancer. It analyzes cervical secretions at the cellular level to understand whether there is a possibility of suspected malignant lesions. The detection rate of cervical cancer cells can be as high as nearly 100%, and it is more sensitive to microbial infections of certain precancerous lesions.
