What are the diagnostic methods for cervical erosion?

Cervical erosion is a common manifestation of chronic cervicitis. Most patients with cervical erosion have no symptoms. Some may experience increased vaginal discharge and lower abdominal pain, but the harm of cervical erosion is very serious. Through examination, the erosion area can be divided into mild, moderate and severe cervical erosion, and symptomatic treatment is given. So what examinations are needed to diagnose cervical erosion? Let's take a look at the experts' introduction.

The following are some of the diagnostic methods for cervical erosion:

【Routine checkup】

1. 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.).

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

3. Colposcopy 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.

4. Iodine test and naked eye observation are very simple and cheap, and can detect at least 2/3 of the lesions. Currently, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the use of naked eye observation in developing countries. As a preliminary screening method for cervical cancer, 3%-5% acetic acid solution is used to smear the cervix, observe the reaction of the cervical epithelium to acetic acid, and then take a biopsy from the white lesion area.

5. Pathological examination of cervical biopsy tissue is the basis for confirming cervical cancer. Accurate diagnosis can provide doctors with reliable clinical basis to formulate treatment plans that are more suitable for patients' conditions, achieving twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, it is recommended that cervical erosion should be treated after a clear diagnosis, and do not blindly use medication regardless of the severity of the condition, so as not to delay the condition.
