Does it have any impact to have a physical examination during menstrual period

The menstrual cycle is regulated by the interaction between the reproductive hormones of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and ovary. General examination items will not be affected, but gynecological examination is not recommended during menstruation.

Because the menstrual period is affected by hormonal secretion, it is difficult to obtain real data. At the same time, during the menstrual period, the cervix opens slightly, and the endometrium of the uterus is peeled off to form a wound. There is a small amount of menstrual blood in the vagina, and the systemic and local resistance is low during the menstrual period. If you do a vaginal gynecological examination at this time, infection may easily occur.

Gynecological examinations are generally performed 3-7 days after menstruation. In addition to gynecological examinations and urine tests, it is also not suitable to do blood tests, electrocardiograms and other examination items during menstruation. Therefore, generally women who want gynecological examinations should not go during their menstrual period. The best time is 3-7 days after menstruation.

However, if a female friend experiences heavy bleeding during menstruation, or small but incessant bleeding during menstruation, or bleeding after amenorrhea, she still needs to undergo a vaginal gynecological examination to prevent missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis to the greatest extent, but disinfection should be more stringent.

If it is a diagnostic dilation and curettage, a gynecological examination should be done on the eve of menstruation or on the first day after menstruation. Because the endometrial specimen at this time can help determine whether ovulation has occurred and whether the corpus luteum function is intact.

However, some diseases require gynecological examination during vaginal bleeding. For example, bleeding during sexual intercourse. Perform a gynecological examination during bleeding to help you find the bleeding site and determine whether it is vaginal wall damage or cervical polyp bleeding. For example, cervical erosion facial bleeding, postmenopausal bleeding, vaginal gynecological examination during the bleeding period can help early detection of malignant tumors.

The above is the relevant introduction to whether gynecological examination can be done during menstruation. It can be seen that gynecological examination cannot be done during menstruation, because not only is it difficult to find the cause of the disease, but it can also cause infection. Therefore, if female friends want to have gynecological examination, it is best to wait for 3 to 7 days after menstruation is clear before going for gynecological examination.

Special reminder: Female sexual intercourse bleeding refers to local bleeding in the vagina or external genitalia during or after sexual intercourse. It belongs to the category of "intercourse bleeding" and "sympathetic bleeding" in traditional Chinese medicine. Generally, the amount of bleeding is not large, but a few can cause heavy bleeding. Timely treatment is required when discovered.
