Caring for women’s health, what are the cervical examination items for women?

Every woman is prone to gynecological diseases. Under normal circumstances, women should undergo a gynecological examination once a year. This is an important way to ensure women's health. Gynecological diseases can seriously affect women's fertility and health. So what are the cervical examination items for women?

Gynecological examination

First check for cervical erosion. If so, TCT examination can be done.

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).

Cervical TCT

TCT testing is the first step in the examination of cervical lesions.

Compared with the traditional cervical scraping and Pap smear examination, it significantly improves the specimen satisfaction and the detection rate of abnormal cervical cells. The TCT cervical cancer cell examination has a detection rate of 100% for cervical cancer cells. It can also detect some precancerous lesions and microbial infections such as fungi, Trichomonas, viruses, and chlamydia. Therefore, TCT examination technology is the most advanced technology used in screening cervical cancer in women.

HPV Testing

This examination mainly checks whether the cervix is ​​infected with human papillomavirus.

Scientists have now proven that the HPV virus transmitted through sexual intercourse is the main cause of cervical cancer. High-risk HPV testing to capture early cervical cancer is a rapid and effective detection method that has just been invented and developed by the medical community in recent years. It can detect all 13 high-risk HPV viruses that cause cervical cancer at one time, bringing the cervical cancer detection rate to over 99%. This method is simple, easy, non-invasive and painless. Regular high-risk HPV virus testing can detect HPV virus infection early and provide early treatment.

Gynecological ultrasound

It mainly performs color Doppler ultrasound of the uterine appendages, bladder and surrounding tissues.

For example, the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, etc. are important examination items to know whether there is a tumor growing in the uterine appendages.

SCC

This examination is mainly used to detect cervical cancer.

SCC is a tumor marker with good specificity and is the earliest used to diagnose squamous cell carcinoma. It has a high diagnostic value for cervical cancer, with a sensitivity of 44%-69% for primary cervical squamous cell carcinoma, a sensitivity of 67%-100% for recurrent cancer, and a specificity of 90%-96%.
