How to check cervical biopsy? The role and precautions of cervical biopsy

Cervical biopsy is a part of gynecological examination. It mainly involves taking a small amount of cell sample from the woman's cervix, placing it on a glass slide and observing it to determine whether the examinee's uterus is healthy. Cervical biopsy can help the examiner find out whether he or she has cervical cancer so that he or she can take treatment measures early. Here we will introduce the examination methods, functions and precautions of cervical biopsy.

1. Inspection method

1. Please seek examination from an experienced obstetrician and gynecologist, because in addition to the location and collection techniques of cervical smear sampling, the obstetrician and gynecologist's observation with the naked eye and accompanying internal examination are also necessary tasks. Clinical experience combined with the accuracy of smears can improve the accuracy of smears.

2. Do not douche the vagina within 24 to 48 hours before the examination. Many women douche the vagina and the area before seeing a gynecologist as a courtesy, but this will ruin the situation and affect the results of the smear.

3. In principle, it is clearer to check right after menstruation. If there is no menstruation, or there is abnormal bleeding, or the secretions have an odor, samples can be taken for examination at any time. If someone who receives regular examinations finds any abnormalities before the scheduled time, he or she should go to the doctor for examination immediately.

4. There must be results after the examination. Nowadays, there are too many obstetrics and gynecology patients or they are busy with personal matters and forget to look at the results. It must be understood that without results, it is equivalent to a waste of time, and in serious cases it may delay the disease.

5. Cervical smears can only be used for cancer prevention screening and cannot be used as a formal basis for diagnosis. The final conclusion will be based on the report of the pathologist on the biopsy, so don't panic if you hear that there are abnormal cell lesions.

2. Function

Cervical biopsy is a method of examination in which a small amount of cell sample is taken from the cervix, placed on a glass slide, and then observed under a microscope to see if there is any abnormality. Female friends can prevent and detect cervical cancer early by doing cervical smears regularly. Therefore, cervical smears can detect cervical cancer early, thereby reducing the mortality rate of cervical cancer. In today's era when people are afraid of cancer, this has great significance.

3. Notes

1. It is best to arrange the examination during the non-menstrual period;

2. If you have acute gynecological inflammation or infection (such as gonorrhea, Trichomonas infection, Chlamydia infection, etc.), it is best to treat the infection and repeat the smear test after the inflammation subsides to avoid interference with the results;

3. Do not flush the vagina, use vaginal suppositories, or perform intravaginal examinations within 24 to 48 hours before the planned examination.
