How to check for cervical precancerous lesions and how to prevent cervical precancerous lesions

Patients with cervical precancerous lesions generally do not show obvious symptoms. If they are not taken seriously and the condition is allowed to deteriorate further, it will lead to serious consequences. So, do you know how to check for cervical precancerous lesions? How to prevent cervical cancer?

Cervical lesions can be examined in the following three steps to detect early cervical cancer:

1. The first step: TCT thin layer liquid-based cytology test

First, thin layer liquid-based cytology (TCT) is used to observe cervical exfoliated cells under a microscope to check whether the cervical cells are abnormal. In addition, if economic conditions permit, HPV testing can also be performed at the same time, which will be more accurate.

2. Step 2: Electronic colposcopy

After TCT thin-layer liquid-based cytology testing, if abnormal cervical cells are found, colposcopy is required. Observing subtle changes in the surface of the cervical precancerous lesions is of great value for the early detection and diagnosis of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions.

3. The third step: tissue pathology detection

If abnormalities are found during colposcopy, biopsy should be performed under the guidance of special staining. Under the guidance of colposcopy, multiple biopsies of suspicious lesions should be performed, and pathological examinations should be performed to confirm the cervical lesions.

In addition, we should learn to prevent cervical cancer in our daily life. Common cervical cancer prevention measures include:

1. Learn to observe leucorrhea and vaginal bleeding. The early symptoms of cervical cancer are increased leucorrhea, odor and abnormal vaginal bleeding.

2. Regular screening for cervical cancer. ~95% of early cervical cancer can be detected. After sexual intercourse, the examination should be conducted once a year. If the result is normal, the examination interval can be appropriately extended.

3. Develop good living habits, including keeping the vulva and vagina clean, having moderate sex, having a fixed sexual partner, and minimizing the number of abortions.

4. Timely treatment of cervicitis and cervical erosion
