Is cervical screening painful?

With the improvement of people's living standards, people's awareness of health care has become more and more clear, but the ruthless cancer still corrodes people's health, especially for married women. The proportion of cervical cancer increases every year, especially in rural areas. This is because their awareness of health care and regular screening has not been improved. Therefore, it is very necessary to do screening in time and reasonably to eliminate the harm of the disease. Does it hurt to do cervical cancer screening?

The first thing you need to know is that the cure rate of cervical cancer is relatively low, so if female friends have symptoms similar to cervical cancer, they must go to a reliable hospital for examination as soon as possible. In fact, for many female friends, especially some young female friends, they still have a relatively averse mentality towards gynecological examinations, because they feel that the doctor will have a sense of shame during the examination process, and when doing the examination, there will be a pain when the cold examination instrument is inserted deep into the vagina.

1 is actually due to lack of understanding of gynecological examinations. Cervical cancer screening is the same as other basic gynecological examinations. When patients are undergoing routine examinations, they may feel a little uncomfortable, but it is definitely not pain. The main reason is the psychological resistance.

2 During the examination, the patient is first asked to lie flat, and then the doctor will slowly expand the vaginal speculum, generally check the cervix, and then send a disposable soft brush to the exit of the cervix and gently rotate it twice. In fact, after the whole process, the patient will not feel uncomfortable.

3 In fact, cervical cancer screening is not as difficult to accept as everyone imagines. If you have suspected symptoms, you should still check as soon as possible. After all, if cervical cancer is discovered early, the treatment effect is much better than if it is discovered late. We should improve our knowledge about gynecological diseases, so that we can avoid unnecessary worries.

In order to ensure that a sufficient number of cells are obtained and to ensure the accuracy of the test, the patient is required not to have sexual intercourse or use vaginal suppositories within 24 hours before seeing a doctor to avoid infection and ensure the quality of acid-fast staining. It is best not to perform the test during the woman's menstrual period.
