Diagnosing cell damage often involves a combination of clinical evaluation and diagnostic tests:
- Pap Smear: A Pap smear can detect abnormal cells in the cervix, helping to identify precancerous or cancerous changes. - Colposcopy: This procedure allows for a closer examination of the cervix, vagina, and vulva to identify areas of cell damage. - Biopsy: Taking a tissue sample for histological examination can confirm the extent and nature of cell damage. - Ultrasound: Pelvic ultrasound can detect structural abnormalities in the reproductive organs.
