Introduction
Cervical biopsy is primarily used to detect whether there are cervical lesions, infections, or related conditions. It usually involves collecting cervical secretions via a pelvic examination for pathological testing. The procedure should be performed at a正规 medical facility. The specific steps are as follows: the patient lies in a supine position with the buttocks near the edge of the bed and legs placed on stirrups to maximally expose the perineum.
Cervical biopsy is primarily used to detect whether there are cervical lesions or infections. It usually involves collecting cervical secretions via a pelvic examination for pathological testing. The procedure should be performed at a正规 medical facility, and the specific steps are as follows:
1. The patient lies flat on her back with her buttocks near the edge of the bed and legs placed in stirrups to maximally expose the perineum.
2. The doctor performs routine disinfection, uses a vaginal speculum to dilate the vagina, exposes the cervix, and wipes away excess secretions from the cervical surface.
3. The doctor applies 3% acetic acid to the cervical surface, which typically causes the tissue to turn white. Then, a cotton ball soaked in Lugol's iodine solution is applied to the cervix.
4. Tissue samples are taken multiple times with biopsy forceps from areas of the cervix that do not stain, and then placed into a container with 75% alcohol.
5. Sterile gauze is packed into the biopsy site to apply pressure and stop bleeding. After hemostasis is achieved, all instruments are removed, and the biopsy specimen is immediately sent to the pathology laboratory.
After cervical biopsy, patients should rest adequately, ensure sufficient sleep, maintain balanced nutrition, and seek prompt medical attention if significant and persistent symptoms such as heavy bleeding or abdominal discomfort and pressure occur.
