What is a fractured cervix?

The female cervix is ​​also closely related to female sex and reproduction. From the fetal period to the aging of women, the cervix is ​​related to women's health care, women's reproductive health care, and even family harmony. However, some women may experience cervical rupture. So what does this section of the cervix mean?

Cervical rupture is a tear in the cervix, which usually occurs during childbirth. Because the pregnant woman's load-free rate is too strong, the cervical canal may be torn. Especially for older first-time mothers, if there is too strong friction, the weight of the fetus is too large or the fetal position is abnormal, the cervical canal of the pregnant woman will be strongly irritated, causing damage and tearing.

If the cervical laceration is shallow and the bleeding is minimal during childbirth, it will be difficult to detect at the time. If the pregnant woman's laceration is deeper and bleeding is more, the midwife can find the cervical laceration after examination. Cervical lacerations need to be sutured immediately after discovery, and the doctor's suture technique affects the healing of the cervix.

If the sutures are done neatly, the torn cervix will heal quickly and well, the function will not be affected, and the scar will not be obvious. However, if the tear is deep and the sutures are not neat, or if the wound is shallow and not treated and sutured in time, it will affect the healing of the cervix and may eventually break into several petals to produce old-fashioned cervical lacerations. This type of cervix is ​​very susceptible to infection in the future, and the incidence of cervical cancer will increase as a result.

What should I pay attention to during cervical screening?

Cervical screening can determine whether a patient is at risk of cervical cancer based on the presence of some abnormal somatic cells. If treatment is carried out in the early stages, the chances of recovery are very high. So, what should you pay attention to before cervical screening? The key points are the following four levels.

1. The influence of menstrual period

It is best to conduct cervical examination for women within 3-7 days after the end of the menstrual period. It is not advisable to conduct examination during the menstrual period.

2. The impact of sex life

It is best not to have sex two days after checking the cervix. Because sexual intercourse will affect the natural environment of the female vagina, if there is residual semen in the female vagina and it appears in the slices, it will affect the interpretation of the test results.

3. Impact on private parts

Do not flush the vagina before the cervical test, as it may wash away some positive cells and affect the test results. The private parts can be cleaned with clean water the day before the examination. In addition, no vaginal medications need to be used before the test.

4. The influence of diet

Three days before the cervical examination, you need to abstain from food, avoid eating some greasy and difficult to digest foods, avoid consuming alcohol, and stop taking some medicines that have an impact on liver and kidney function. You need to be on an empty stomach on the day of the test.
