What are the steps for cervical cancer screening

Cervical cancer screening requires cervical cytology, human papillomavirus testing, electronic colposcopy, imaging examination, cervical multi-point biopsy, etc. The doctor will decide which examinations to perform based on the specific situation and screening guidelines.

1. Cervical cytology: This is a non-invasive examination method that collects cervical epithelial cells for examination, with minimal impact on the individual's body.

2. Human papillomavirus test: This is also a non-invasive test, usually performed at the same time as the Pap smear test, by collecting cervical samples for HPV DNA testing.

3. Electronic colposcopy: This is a relatively non-invasive examination that uses a magnifying glass and a light source to examine the cervix and vagina. It may cause some discomfort, but usually does not require local anesthesia.

4. Imaging tests: These tests are usually the least invasive diagnostic imaging method, but may require the use of contrast agents or require the person to remain still for a period of time in some cases.

5. Cervical multiple biopsy: This is a more invasive test, usually performed when abnormalities are found in cytology or HPV testing. It involves taking tissue samples from the cervix, which may cause pain or discomfort and usually needs to be performed under local anesthesia.

In daily life, you should also pay attention to your own health and maintain good living habits, such as quitting smoking, limiting alcohol, eating a balanced diet, maintaining a good attitude, etc. These will help reduce the risk of cervical cancer.
