Personal screening for cervical cancer

1. Vaginal bleeding

Irregular vaginal bleeding, especially contact bleeding (ie bleeding after sexual intercourse or after a gynecological examination) and postmenopausal vaginal bleeding are clinical symptoms of cervical cancer patients. Cauliflower-like growths in cervical cancer cause bleeding earlier and with more bleeding.

2. Increased secretions in women

It is milky white and thin, and the quality of the fluid is like water, rice water or strong, with a fishy smell. When the cancerous tissue is ruptured and infected, the secretions may be pus-like with a foul smell.

3. Main manifestations in the late stage

Because of the invasion and migration of the tumor, relative positional or even systemic symptoms may occur, such as frequent and urgent urination, inability to hold urine, anal prolapse, constipation, swelling and pain in the lower limbs, sciatica, hydronephrosis, renal failure, uremia, etc., finally leading to systemic decline.

Cervical cancer diagnosis

1. Colposcopy

Whenever the cervical smear cytology examination is grade III or above, a colposcopy and iodine test should be performed first to observe whether there are visible epithelial cells or early lesions on the surface of the cervix and to mark the location of the puncture biopsy.

For women with heavy leucorrhea and vaginal contact bleeding, an effective and painless cervical cytology scraping test can be used. 95% of early tumor cells can be found through cervical cytology scraping.

2. Biopsy of cervix and endocervical canal

The specific method is to take four-point puncture biopsy at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock at the junction of the cervical squamous column. When there is a suspicion of lesions in the cervical canal, it should also be taken with forceps. Biopsy is the most reliable basis for diagnosing cervical cancer. Regardless of the early or late stage of the cancer, a clear diagnosis must be made through puncture biopsy.
