Dissecting the confusion and misconceptions of cervical cancer screening

  1.Cervical cancer screening is a kind of health examination, not only for those who have cancer; the suggestion to our colleagues is to change the name of ‘cervical cancer screening’ to ‘cervical screening’ or ‘cervical health examination 2. The ‘mild inflammation’ and ‘moderate inflammation’ in the cervical cytology screening report do not necessarily mean inflammatory infection and do not require treatment. HPV is transmitted through sexual intercourse and can be contracted as long as there is sexual intercourse; cervical infection is very common, but very few develop into cancer because our body’s immune system can clear HPV, and only when HPV infection does not turn negative for several years can it cause disease; 4. So far, the global medical community does not have any drugs that can really turn HPV negative; the body’s immune system needs some time to clear HPV, so if HPV is found to be positive, there is no need to rush to review it, the international standard is to review it once every six months to a year; 5. The HPV vaccine only targets the subtypes of HPV, so HPV vaccination may only be effective for women who have not been infected or infected with four subtypes of HPV for a short time, so it is recommended for adolescent women under 26 years old; 6. appearance, so do not take physical therapy lightly, and women who have not had children should be even more cautious; periodic cervical screening is the key.
