The specific method is to scrape a small amount of cells from the cervix through the vagina, then smear these cervical cells on a glass slide, and observe whether there are any problems with the cervical cells under a microscope. During the two days after the cervical smear, do not rinse the vagina with water or use vaginal medications to avoid affecting the test results.

Cervical biopsy, as the name suggests, is to examine the living tissue of the cervix. The method is very simple. Just take a small amount of living tissue from the cervix through the vagina for pathological examination. This examination method can be used to check whether the patient has cervical cancer.
