1. Gynecological examination focuses on checking the size, shape, texture of the cervix and the thickness of the cervical canal, as well as whether there is contact bleeding. The secondary check includes the conditions of vulva, vagina, uterus, and surrounding tissues (ovaries, fallopian tubes, pelvic lymph nodes, etc.).
2. Cervical Pap smear cytology examination is a routine gynecological examination, simple, easy to perform, economical, and effective. It is the most important auxiliary examination and the preferred initial screening method for cancer prevention.
3. Colposcopy can quickly detect lesions invisible to the naked eye. Taking biopsies from suspicious areas during colposcopy can significantly improve the accuracy of biopsy.
4. Iodine test and visual inspection methods are very simple and inexpensive, and at least 2/3 of the lesions can be detected. Currently, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends using visual inspection as the primary screening method for cervical cancer in developing countries. That is, after applying a 3%-5% acetic acid solution to the cervix, observe the reaction of the cervical epithelium to acetic acid, then take a biopsy in the white lesion area.
5. Pathological examination of cervical live tissue is the basis for confirming cervical cancer.
Current medical research shows that the main cause of cervical cancer is due to women being infected with human papillomavirus. Therefore, medical researchers are dedicated to studying an economical, highly efficient, and inexpensive human papillomavirus testing method for early-stage cervical cancer screening, which will hopefully be used clinically soon. LEEP knife minimally invasive technology has become the first choice for treating severe cervical erosion patients because of its unique advantages and numerous clinical cure data. Dongwu Hospital of Suzhou keeps up with the forefront of medicine and was one of the earliest hospitals in Suzhou to introduce this technology. So far, it has successfully helped tens of thousands of patients with chronic and severe cervical erosion who have been difficult to treat and repeatedly relapsed, and the curative effect has been praised by patients and recognized by industry experts.
