There is generally a difference between liquid-based thin-layer cytology and HPV testing. Liquid-based thin-layer cytology is a cytologic test and HPV testing is a pathogenic test.
1. Liquid-based thin-layer cytology: through the morphology of cervical exfoliated cells to observe whether there is low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion or high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, it is suitable for screening cervical cancer and precancerous lesions.
2. HPV examination: HPV examination refers to the examination of human papillomavirus infection, through staining microscopy method, DNA detection method and other methods to check whether it is infected with HPV virus. It is suitable for screening whether the human body is infected with human papilloma virus as well as the typing of the virus and the number of viruses.
If you have cervical lesions, you should go to a regular hospital in time to improve the relevant examination and make a clear diagnosis, so as not to delay the condition.
