The collected cell samples are divided into two parts, one for detecting suspicious cells and the other for detecting HPV infection using a special instrument. This test can not only detect whether you are infected with HPV virus, but also detect the amount of virus.

Use tiny "cervical biopsy forceps" and "cervical canal scraper" to pinch several pieces of tissue from the cervix and put them in small bottles for pathological section examination to facilitate treatment measures.
