1. Gynecological examination: focus on the size, shape, texture, thickness of the cervix, and whether there is contact bleeding. Secondly, check the condition of the vulva, vagina, uterus, and paracervical tissues (ovaries, fallopian tubes, pelvic lymph nodes, etc.).

2. Cervical smear cytology examination: It is a routine gynecological examination, simple, easy, cost-effective, and the most important auxiliary examination and the preferred initial screening method for cancer prevention surveys.

3. Iodine test and naked eye observation: This method is very simple and cheap, and can detect at least 2/3 of the lesions. Currently, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends naked eye observation in developing countries. As a preliminary screening method for cervical cancer, 3-5% acetic acid solution is applied to the cervix. The reaction of the cervical epithelium to acetic acid is observed, and then a biopsy is taken from the white lesion area.

4. Colposcopy: It can quickly detect lesions that are invisible to the naked eye. Taking biopsies from suspicious areas during colposcopy can significantly improve the accuracy of biopsies.

5. Pathological examination of cervical biopsy tissue: It is the basis for confirming cervical cancer. At present, medical experts have shown that the main cause of cervical cancer is that women are infected with human papillomavirus.
