Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:Go to the hospital to consult about treatment methods, CTC was suggested. I want to ask, is CTC necessary for mild cervical erosion?
Doctor's answer:
Patients with mild cervical erosion are recommended to undergo a pathological examination of cervical cells before treatment to confirm the benign or malignant degree of inflammatory cells. If you have good financial conditions, it is best to have a TCT examination. The cost of a TCT examination varies depending on the hospital level, with general costs around 180 yuan at tertiary hospitals. Lower-tier hospitals generally do not actively conduct this examination, mainly due to the issue of consumables. If fewer patients undergo the examination, it is not cost-effective in terms of consumables. The cervical TCT examination is also known as a cervical liquid-based cell examination. The purpose of the examination is to determine how the cells in the cervical erosion area may have undergone adverse changes. If you do not want to have a TCT examination, you can opt for a cervical scraping examination. This examination is relatively inexpensive and is actively conducted in all hospitals.
