Assessment of cervical health typically involves several diagnostic procedures:
Pap Smear: A screening test that collects cells from the cervix to detect abnormalities. Colposcopy: A detailed examination of the cervix using a special microscope to identify abnormal areas. HPV Testing: Testing for the Human Papillomavirus, which is a major risk factor for cervical cancer. Hysterosalpingography: An X-ray procedure that can assess the shape of the uterine cavity and the patency of the cervical canal.
