When it comes to gynecological examinations, everyone is familiar with it. It is a means of checking whether women have gynecological diseases. Although gynecological examinations are well-known, they are not always available and there are many things to pay attention to during the examination. For example, whether menstruation can be done is a concern for many women. So, can I check my gynecology department during menstruation?
Firstly, whether women can undergo gynecological examinations after menstruation depends on the situation. Generally speaking, it is not recommended for women to undergo gynecological examinations during menstruation. Female gynecological examinations include internal diagnosis, gynecological B-ultrasound, hysteroscopy, routine vaginal discharge examination, etc. During menstruation, women may have bloody secretions in the vagina and uterine cavity, which is not conducive to monitoring vaginal wall and uterine cavity lesions. In addition, due to the low immunity of women during menstruation, if gynecological examinations are performed at this time, gynecological inflammation may occur due to improper operation.
Secondly, as gynecological examinations during menstruation can easily cause infections, they can be done on the third day after menstruation. If it is a gynecological ultrasound examination, there is no problem during menstruation, but checking vaginal secretions cannot be done. During menstruation, individuals must pay attention to rest and hygiene, change underwear and sanitary pads frequently, avoid eating spicy and stimulating foods, stay up late, and avoid drinking alcohol.
Finally, due to the slight opening of the cervix during menstruation, the endometrium sheds and forms a wound, resulting in a small amount of menstrual blood in the vagina. In addition, the overall and local resistance during menstruation is low, making vaginal examination more prone to infection. Therefore, to avoid the above drawbacks, gynecological examination can be performed after menstruation is clean.
