What is a cervical biopsy?

Cervical biopsy refers to a living tissue examination of the cervix, which is to remove a small piece or several pieces of active tissue from the female cervix for pathological examination to determine the diagnosis and treatment method. It is generally used for suspected cervical cancer or suspicious cells in the cervical scraping, and cervical biopsy is the most reliable basis for diagnosing cervical cancer. Whether it is early or late stage cervical cancer, this examination must be performed to determine the pathological type and degree of cell differentiation of the cancer.

The method of cervical biopsy is: after disinfecting the vulva, vagina, and cervix, use a special biopsy forceps to take a few small pieces of tissue according to the location of the lesion and requirements, fix them in 10% formalin solution, send them to the pathology department for sectioning, stain them, observe and analyze them under a microscope, and then make a pathological diagnosis.

Cervical biopsy results

When will the results of a cervical biopsy be available? The results of a cervical biopsy usually come out in about three days. If the cervical biopsy report says "No CIN was found in the examination results", it means that the cervical biopsy results are normal. CIN refers to atypical hyperplasia of the cervical epithelium, which is a precancerous lesion. Cervical biopsy can help diagnose cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia is divided into three grades:

Grade I: Mild atypical hyperplasia.

Grade II: moderate atypical hyperplasia.

Grade III: severe atypical hyperplasia and carcinoma in situ.
