The main methods for gynecological HPV examination include Thinprep Cytologic Test (TCT), HPV-DNA virology testing, and colposcopy-guided biopsy.

Methods of Gynecological HPV Examination

1. Thinprep Cytologic Test (TCT): A small brush is used to take a sample from the cervix, which takes only a few seconds and is painless. Then, a "cell preservation solution" is used to separate impurities from the collected sample, creating a clear cell smear that can detect the presence of HPV virus infection.

2. HPV-DNA Virology Testing: The collected cell samples are divided into two parts, one for detecting suspicious cells and the other for detecting HPV infection using special instruments. This test can not only detect the presence of HPV virus, but also the quantity of the virus.

3. Colposcopy-guided Biopsy: After suspicious cells are detected, a doctor needs to perform a pathological biopsy for confirmation. The doctor will observe the lesions of the cervical surface blood vessels through a colposcope. Using a small "cervical biopsy forceps" and "cervical canal curette," several pieces of tissue are taken from the cervix and placed in small bottles for pathological biopsy examination to facilitate treatment measures.

Women Who Need HPV Screening

1. Women with a promiscuous lifestyle: Such women have an endless pursuit of sexual pleasure, and thus, it is important for them to understand how to maintain and protect their private areas from diseases.

2. Women with multiple sexual partners: If a woman has more than one sexual partner, she should be aware of the risks involved and undergo annual HPV screening. Additionally, it is crucial to ensure that all sexual partners are free of HPV infection.
