Four commonly used medical methods for diagnosing cervical erosion

The diagnosis of cervical erosion requires professional medical instruments. Generally speaking, for this common gynecological disease, if the patient does not pay more attention to daily examinations, the diagnosis of cervical erosion is often completed after regular gynecological examinations.

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

2. Gynecological examination: Focus on checking 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.).

3. Colposcopy: It 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. It is one of the common methods for diagnosing cervical erosion.

4. Iodine test and naked eye observation: This method is very simple and cheap, and can detect at least 2/3 of the lesions. As a preliminary screening method for cervical cancer, 3%-5% acetic acid solution is applied to the cervix. The reaction of the cervical epithelium to acetic acid is observed, and then a biopsy is taken from the white lesion area.

The above diagnostic methods for cervical erosion are all used by our gynecological experts in long-term clinical treatment. It is also necessary to use different diagnostic methods for cervical erosion according to the actual situation of the patient, which is also advocated by gynecological experts.
