What does a cervical examination check?

The so-called follow-up physical examination refers to a comprehensive examination of the female cervix. We would like to remind our female friends that there are many types of gynecological diseases. If these diseases are discovered in time, they can be treated in time. If we wait until the disease is very serious, the treatment will be very difficult. Therefore, we must go to the hospital regularly for gynecological physical examinations. At this time, we must do a cervical examination. So what examination items should be done in the cervical examination?

What does a cervical examination check?

Physical examinations are very necessary for everyone. They can help you understand your physical health status in a timely manner, and can also help you detect diseases in time and receive early treatment. Especially for women, gynecological diseases are very easy to get. Among so many examinations, one is cervical screening. Many female friends still don’t know what cervical screening checks for?

Cervical screening is mainly performed through liquid-based blood tests to check for cervical cancer in women. Cervical screening is currently the most advanced technology in the world for detecting cervical cancer cells. Compared with the traditional cervical smear test, it first improves the satisfaction of the specimen and then increases the detection rate of cervical cancer cells. When cervical screening checks for cervical cancer cells, the detection rate of cancer cells is 100%. Not only that, it can also detect cancer lesions and microbial infections in advance.

When cervical cancer is detected through cervical screening, you need to pay attention. Cervical cancer is a very common malignant tumor among female diseases. Although the general incidence population is middle-aged women, the incidence population has gradually become younger in recent years. The mortality rate caused by cervical cancer is also very high. Therefore, when cervical cancer is detected through cervical screening, it must be treated in a timely manner. The earlier the detection and treatment, the lower the mortality rate of cervical cancer can be.

5. Breast examination

In addition to visual examination and palpation of the breast by a specialist, mammography can detect lesions in the breast that cannot be detected by palpation.

6. Confirm whether menstruation is normal

If menstruation is irregular, it may indicate that a woman has reached perimenopause or it may be an early symptom of some tumor. The cause of irregular menstruation needs to be discovered in time so that symptomatic treatment can be provided.
