Cervical biopsy

Cervical biopsy refers to a living tissue examination of the cervix, which is to remove a small piece or several pieces of active tissue from the female cervix for pathological examination to determine the diagnosis and treatment method. It is generally used for suspected cervical cancer or suspicious cells in the cervical scraping, and cervical biopsy is the most reliable basis for diagnosing cervical cancer.

The method of cervical biopsy is: after disinfecting the vulva, vagina, and cervix, use a special biopsy forceps to take a few small pieces of tissue according to the location of the lesion and requirements, fix them in 10% formalin solution, send them to the pathology department for sectioning, stain them, observe and analyze them under a microscope, and then make a pathological diagnosis.

The following three points should be noted during cervical biopsy:

1. Collect materials from multiple sources. Generally, samples are collected at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock at the junction of the squamous and columnar epithelium of the cervix, or from the area that is not stained by iodine staining, or from the white epithelium in the acetic acid test, or a biopsy is taken under a colposcope. The specimens taken should include some healthy tissue, and more specimens should be taken if there are obvious lesions.

2. The biopsy site may bleed, so apply pressure with a cotton ball to stop the bleeding after sampling.

3. If a cervical biopsy is required during pregnancy, the patient should be hospitalized to prevent bleeding. This examination is generally not performed during pregnancy.
