Dr. Chen Zhe
For unmarried individuals who wish to have a cervical examination, if there is no history of sexual intercourse, colposcopy cannot be performed; however, ultrasound or color Doppler ultrasound can be used to examine the cervix. If there is a history of sexual activity, colposcopy can be used to observe the cervical surface. If abnormalities are detected in the cervical examination, it is important to actively follow the doctor's recommended treatment to prevent the condition from worsening.
