Hello, cervical screening may include a pelvic examination, during which a speculum is inserted into the vagina to visually assess whether there are erosion-like changes on the surface of the cervix. For cervical cancer screening, the current standard approach typically involves both HPV testing and liquid-based cytology (TCT) of cervical cells. Gynecological ultrasound can be used to evaluate parameters such as cervical length and width. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life!
