HPV normal TCT will have problems

HPV is the abbreviation of human papillomavirus infection, which is a small DNA virus with multiple types that can cause a variety of malignant papillomas or warts on human skin and mucous membranes. Some types of HPV infection are also potential carcinogens. HPV testing mainly checks whether a person is carrying the HPV virus. It can be done through staining smear method, HPV DNA assay or serological test to check whether HPV is infected. HPV infection of the female reproductive system is a common reproductive tract infection. 50% of sexually active women may be infected with at least one other HPV type. Since human papillomavirus infection is the cause of cervical cancer, we must attach great importance to this infection and HPV testing.

TCT examination is the general name for liquid-based cytological testing. It uses a liquid-based cytological testing network to detect cervical cells and perform cytological classification and diagnosis. It is currently the most advanced cervical cancer cell cytological examination technology in the world. Compared with the traditional cervical scraping Papanicolaou acid-fast staining test, it has significantly improved the satisfaction rate of specimen collection and the diagnosis rate of abnormal cervical cells. The TCT cervical cancer cell examination has a 100% diagnostic rate for cervical tumor cells. It can also detect some precancerous lesions and microbial infections such as fungi, Trichomonas, viruses, mycoplasma, etc. Therefore, TCT technology is the most advanced technology used in the screening of cervical cancer in women.

HPV is normal, will there be any problems with TCT?

If HPV is normal, TCT may also have problems. The main cause of cervical cancer is high-risk HPV infection, but not 100% of cervical cancers are clinically caused by high-risk HPV infection. Some are also caused by other reasons. Only the vast majority of cervical cancers are clinically caused by persistent infection of the cervix with high-risk HPV. In clinical medicine, even if HPV is normal, TCT may have problems, so HPV testing must be done together with TCT to allow for a comprehensive analysis and avoid misdiagnosis. In addition, it is recommended that women undergo cervical cancer screening once a year even if they do not feel uncomfortable, to understand whether the epithelial cells have any disease or whether they are infected with high-risk HPV.
