There are five magic weapons to protect women's cervical health, as follows.

Gynecological Detective (gynecological examination): Perform a "full body examination" on the cervix to check its size, shape, texture, thickness of the cervical canal, and check for any contact bleeding.

Cell Detective (cervical smear cytology): This method is simple, easy, affordable and almost painless. It is the preferred screening method for cancer prevention screening. For example, TCT (liquid-based thin layer cytology) is a "good helper" in finding problems.

3. Virus Tracker (HPV Detection): It is specifically used to detect HPV viruses that may cause cervical cancer, especially HPV16 and HPV18. When combined with the "Cell Detective", it can increase the detection rate of cervical diseases.

4. Magnifying glass magic (colposcopy): This "magnifying glass" can help us see the cervical epithelium and blood vessels clearly to determine whether there is any lesion and its severity.

5. Master of diagnosis (cervical biopsy): This is the ultimate trick to diagnose lesions. Accurate diagnosis results can provide doctors with reliable clinical basis and formulate treatment plans that are more suitable for patients' conditions.

These are the five magic weapons for cervical screening. Remember to check regularly and protect your cervical health!
