What should you pay attention to before TCT and HPV examination

With the continued decline in the incidence of cervical cancer, TCT and HPV tests, as new cervical cancer screening methods, have become key items in women's physical examinations. However, many women are not very familiar with these two tests. They only know that they only need to take a sample once during the test. So they want to know, can TCT and HPV tests be done together? What issues should be paid attention to in TCT and HPV tests? Let's take a look together.

First of all, let's talk about whether TCT and HPV tests can be done at the same time. We know that both TCT and HPV tests are done through the vagina to take samples of the cervix. Their sampling methods are the same, but TCT uses cervical cancer cell biopsy technology to test whether there are viruses, bacteria, Trichomonas and other microorganisms in the sample. One of these is an HPV infection reminder, which is not as accurate as the HPV test. Therefore, the sample will be tested for HPV, so TCT testing and HPV testing can be done by taking a sample once. It can be done together. Let’s take a look at what issues should be paid attention to after TCT and HPV examinations, so that female friends can have a comprehensive understanding.

1. Because TCT and HPV test sampling will cause certain damage to the cervix, in order to avoid postoperative infection, you should pay attention to hygiene after sampling, wear clean and loose cotton underwear, and keep the vulva clean.

2. You should not have sexual intercourse within one week after the TCT and HPV tests to prevent some viral infections from being introduced into the vagina and causing cervical infection. You are not allowed to take a sitz bath within three days after the operation, and you are not allowed to use drugs to flush the vagina.

3. After TCT and HPV examinations, you should pay attention to vaginal bleeding. Generally, vaginal bleeding within 3-5 days after the examination is normal, but if the bleeding exceeds the menstrual volume, it is abnormal and you should seek medical attention immediately.

In short, TCT and HPV tests are screenings conducted to prevent cervical cancer. Since TCT tests cannot accurately obtain HPV infection data, HPV infection must be tested separately, but their sampling methods are the same. Both tests can be performed with one sample, so TCT tests and HPV tests can be done at the same time. Patients need to pay attention to the following: they should avoid infection after the examination, pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene, not use tap water to wash the vagina for a short period of time, and not have sexual intercourse.
