How to diagnose cervical cancer

Do you know how to diagnose cervical cancer? Do you know how to prevent and treat cervical cancer? Now let's learn about some methods and knowledge about cervical cancer:

1. Pelvic examination: The doctor will open the vagina to observe the cervix and the upper part of the vagina. The doctor can examine the organs in the pelvic cavity such as the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina, bladder and rectum through abdominal or digital examination to see if there are any abnormalities.

2. Pap smear test: It is a very simple, reliable and painless test method. The doctor will scrape the cells of the cervix and upper vagina with a scraper and a cervical brush, take the secretions mixed with cervical cells, stain them, and then send them to the laboratory for examination. The purpose is to detect whether there are abnormal cells in the cervix and its vicinity. If the smear test is negative, the papillomavirus and cytomegalovirus are positive

If the reaction is strong and the antigens CEA and CA-754 react strongly, further examination should be considered. The best time to do a smear test is after the end of each menstrual cycle and before the next ovulation period.

3. Cone excision: When a cervical smear or pelvic examination finds an abnormality, further testing is required to find out the problem. The doctor will cut a cone-shaped tissue from the cervix and the surrounding area, and then send it to the pathology laboratory for examination to determine whether there is any lesion.

4. Dilatation and curettage: The doctor dilates the cervix and inserts a scraper to scrape the endometrium and cervical tissue for examination.

5. Colposcopy: Colposcopy is to use a 40x microscope to examine the cervix in detail under a special light source. From the changes in epithelial cells, benign and malignant lesions can be distinguished. A colposcope is used to make direct sections from suspicious lesions for histological confirmation.

6. Computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET): Once cervical cancer is confirmed, a computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or PET is required to understand whether the cervical cancer has spread.

7. Other related examinations: including blood, urine tests and chest X-ray, etc.
