Can hpv and tct be done at the same time

HPV and TCT can be examined at the same time. The former is to detect the presence of HPV infection and the subtype of the infection, while the latter is to examine the cervical exfoliated cells, which can detect early cancerous cervical cells and is often used for cervical cancer screening, and can also detect pathogenic bacteria that infect the cervix, such as mycobacteria and trichomonas. Both tests can be performed in a gynecological clinic. The test should be performed at a time that avoids menstruation, and before the test, care should be taken not to have intercourse, not to put drugs in the vagina or do vaginal disinfection and douching to avoid affecting the normal test results. After the test, you may experience pain in the abdomen or a small amount of bleeding, which will be relieved within 1-2 days.
