Cervical cancer screening mainly includes cervical liquid-based thin-layer cytology and HPV examination. Before screening, it is necessary to pay attention to the time of examination and the preparations before examination, such as avoiding sexual intercourse, vaginal douching and vaginal medication for 3 days before examination.
1. Examination time: cervical cancer screening needs to take cells from the cervix, and vaginal bleeding during menstruation will affect the examination results, so the examination should be avoided during menstruation.
2. Preparation before the test: Avoid sexual intercourse, vaginal douching, vaginal medication, etc. for 3 days before the cervical cancer screening, so as not to affect the test result.
Cervical cancer screening is a painless and non-invasive examination, which takes a short time and will not affect your daily life after the examination. After the specimen examination, you should pay attention to the test results. If the results are abnormal, further colposcopy and cervical biopsy are needed and treatment under doctor’s guidance.
