Patient's question:
I have a lot of leukorrhea with a bad odor. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it might be acute cervicitis. He recommended an endometrial biopsy, but I didn't bother to do it at the time.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the comprehensive examination methods for acute cervicitis mainly include the following several types:1. Cervical scraping cytology: This is a routine gynecological examination, simple and easy to perform, cost-effective, and is a preferred initial screening method for auxiliary examinations and cancer prevention surveys.
2. Colposcopy: It can quickly detect lesions that are invisible to the naked eye. During colposcopy, taking biopsies from suspicious areas can significantly improve the accuracy of the biopsy.
3. Pathological examination of cervical living tissue: This examination method is the basis for diagnosing cervical cancer. Women should pay attention to this.
4. Gynecological examination: During a gynecological examination, the focus is on checking the size, shape, texture, and diameter of the cervix, as well as whether there is contact bleeding. Additionally, the condition of the external genitalia, vagina, uterus, and surrounding tissues (such as ovaries, fallopian tubes, pelvic lymph nodes, etc.) is examined.
