Unmarried women who wish to have a safe cervical examination can go to a hospital for routine vaginal discharge testing and cervical cytology screening. However, if they are unmarried and have never had sexual intercourse, only routine vaginal discharge testing is applicable. For those who have had sexual intercourse, additional examinations such as colposcopy can be performed to assess the condition of the cervical surface. It is essential to choose a正规 medical institution when undergoing these examinations.
