What to do to check the cervix

In fact, there are many examination items for the cervical opening. People can choose the examination measures that suit them according to their physical condition. However, most people still need to undergo angiography, which is a common examination method now. It is also an examination item that can intuitively know whether there are lesions in the body. Therefore, female friends should go for regular examinations.

Abnormal results:

(1) Vaginal examination: Check the position of the cervix, the size and shape of the external opening, the amount and nature of secretions, and whether there is cervical erosion. At the same time, perform a bacteriological examination of the endocervical mucus. If necessary, perform a scraping or colposcopy.

(2) Probe examination: Detect the direction and length of the cervical canal and whether there are any abnormalities, adhesions, stenosis, etc. in its ratio to the cervix. For patients with suspicious abnormalities, further angiography should be performed.

(3) Contrast imaging: Lesions of the uterus and fallopian tubes can be detected through contrast imaging, and contrast imaging can also have a beneficial effect on the study of infertility. Endocervical vegetation, congenital malformations, stenosis, adhesions, and uterine torsion can all be diagnosed. People who need to be checked: those with vulvar itching, burning discomfort, lower abdominal or lumbosacral pain, which worsens during sexual intercourse, menstruation and bowel movements. There are also people who feel symptoms such as weakness in both lower limbs, bitter taste in the mouth, nausea, and yellow urine.

Use a sterile long cotton swab to take a small amount of leucorrhea from the posterior fornix, place it on a glass slide containing 1-2 drops of normal saline, and immediately examine it under a microscope. The uterine cavity is expanded with a distending medium, and a cold light source is introduced into the uterine cavity through a hysteroscope via a fiberoptic light guide and lens. The cervical canal, internal cervical os, endometrium and fallopian tube opening are directly observed so that the diseased tissue can be sampled intuitively and accurately for pathological examination.

Contrast agent is injected into the uterine cavity and fallopian tube through a catheter, and X-ray fluoroscopy and radiography are performed to determine whether the fallopian tube is unobstructed, the location of obstruction, and the morphology of the uterine cavity based on the visualization of the contrast agent in the fallopian tube and pelvic cavity.

A normal cervix has bulges around the periphery and a hole in the middle. The shape of the navel for non-pregnant women is round, while that for pregnant women is "I"-shaped, tough, flesh-red, and has a smooth surface. If the examination is normal, it means that it is light, of medium quality, without itching or pain, etc.
