For women, the most complex organ in the body is the uterus, which also affects women's physical health. It has a certain impact on fertility and menstruation, but the uterus is also particularly prone to diseases. Many times when examining internal diseases of the uterus, it is necessary to use endometrial scraping. However, in order to make the results more accurate, we must make adequate preparations before the examination. Let's take a look at what we need to pay attention to with endometrial scraping?

Cervical smear test is an essential item for women undergoing gynecological examination. A cervical smear is a procedure in which a small sample of cells is taken from the cervix of the uterus, placed on a glass slide, and then studied under a microscope to see if there are any abnormalities. It is best for sexually active women to have a cervical smear done once a year if possible. Cervical smear is currently the simplest and most effective diagnostic method for widespread examination of cervical cancer.

The cervical smear test reduces the mortality rate of cervical cancer by at least 70%. Any woman who has had sexual activity for more than three years or has had sexual activity for more than 21 years should start regular cervical cancer screening. Women who marry and have children early, have a history of miscarriage, a history of sexually transmitted diseases, or have multiple sexual partners are all at high risk of cervical cancer.

What should you pay attention to when doing endometrial scraping?

1. The person being examined should avoid sexual intercourse within 24 hours before the scraping.

2. Do not flush the vagina, use vaginal suppositories, or perform intravaginal examinations within 24 to 48 hours before the planned examination.

3. When there is cervical inflammation, treatment should be carried out first, and then the scraping should be done to avoid the film being filled with a large number of white blood cells and inflammatory cells, which may affect the diagnosis.

4. It is best to schedule the examination during the non-menstrual period.

5. Anyone who has had sexual intercourse should have a cervical smear test. Regardless of whether they are married or unmarried, any woman who has had sexual intercourse at any age may develop cervical cancer. Among them, women who marry early or have sexual experience too early, give birth to their first child at a very young age, have many sexual partners, give birth frequently, or smoke have a particularly high risk of developing the disease. Therefore, all sexually active women should undergo a smear test at least once a year.
