Many women do not pay attention to their diet and daily hygiene, which can lead to the occurrence of gynecological inflammation. The obvious symptoms include an increase in vaginal discharge, which requires timely examination and treatment to prevent more serious illnesses. So, how many days after menstruation can I have a vaginal discharge test?
Generally, vaginal discharge can be checked 3-7 days after the menstrual cycle is clean. Nowadays, vaginal discharge examination is one of the most commonly used tests in women's lives. White discharge examination should be avoided as much as possible during the menstrual period. Because there is a lot of menstrual blood interference during menstruation, this type of vaginal discharge test is inaccurate, making it difficult to identify the condition or causing significant interference. Therefore, it can be done 3-7 days after menstruation.
Moreover, it is best not to have sexual intercourse before vaginal discharge examination, as it can alter the local environment and even cause small vaginal fissures and bleeding, which can interfere with the examination. Meanwhile, try not to take medication before vaginal discharge examination. Because after medication, the local environment will change, which has a significant impact on the results of vaginal discharge examination.
White discharge is a secretion from the female vagina. Under normal circumstances, vaginal discharge is as light as egg white, transparent or slightly yellow, odorless or slightly fishy, and in small amounts, without any uncomfortable feeling. If abnormal vaginal discharge is accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain and mental fatigue, it may indicate inflammation and prompt treatment is necessary.
