TCT is an internationally advanced cervical cytology examination technique. Cervical scraping is used to detect cervical lesions by obtaining cervical epithelial cells. Although the examination methods are different, they are both medical clinical examinations for female cervical lesions, which are of great significance for disease diagnosis and treatment. So, which is better, TCT or cervical scraping?
Which is better, TCT or cervical scraping
1. Both TCT and cervical scraping require selecting cells for examination from the cervical opening. The difference is that cervical scraping is a manual smear, while TCT is an automatic smear.
2. Due to different sampling methods, cervical scraping may cause some pain to the examinee, but TCT is almost imperceptible.
3. During the examination process after sampling, scraping can only distinguish between inflammation and cancer, but TCT can detect inflammation, cancer, or early cancerous changes.
4. TCT provides more detailed examination results than cervical scraping, and can provide timely treatment for patients with early cervical cancer.
Precautions for TCT inspection
1. Female physical examinations are generally required to be done within 3-7 days after the end of menstruation.
2. Couples should not have sexual intercourse for two days after cervical TCT examination.
3. Do not rinse the vagina the day before TCT examination.
4. If you have already suffered from gynecological inflammation, you should wait until the disease is cured before undergoing cervical TCT examination to avoid inaccurate test results.
Compared with traditional cervical scraping examination, TCT can more clearly analyze the degree of disease progression in patients. At the same time, TCT examination can also reduce the pain tolerance of the examiner. The results of TCT examination can effectively help doctors to actively treat cervical cancer in a targeted manner. TCT examination greatly reduces the deterioration process of cervical cancer patients and is a blessing for the vast majority of potential cervical cancer patients.
