Patient's question:
How to check cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
How to check cervical erosion: The diagnostic process for cervical erosion usually involves the following steps in laboratory tests and examinations by the doctor:Step 1: Perform a routine gynecological leukorrhea test to diagnose cervical erosion. Cervical erosion is often accompanied by vaginitis, so it is necessary to first identify the pathogen causing the infection, mainly including trichomonas, fungi, bacteria, and other pathogens.
Step 2: Conduct a colposcopy examination to check for cervical erosion. Observe changes in the cervical epithelium under the application of iodine and acetic acid. Steps 1 and 2 require the doctor's participation in the examination. The doctor will typically palpate the uterus and cervix, which depends on the doctor's experience. If the cervical erosion is severe, the doctor may perform a TCT test again.
Step 3: Perform a TCT test to check for cervical erosion. This test is primarily used to rule out cervical cancer transformation by analyzing the cervical secretions at the cellular level and checking for any suspicious malignant lesions. If the results are suspicious, the doctor will proceed to Step 4 for laboratory testing.
Step 4: Conduct a cervical erosion examination by taking a biopsy for pathological testing to diagnose the degree of cancer transformation.
