B-ultrasound examination is a diagnostic test that generally does not cause any pain or damage to the subject. This examination can clearly see cross-sectional images of various organs and their surroundings. Female ultrasound examination can effectively detect reproductive system problems. So, can I have an ultrasound examination during my menstrual period?
Whether B-ultrasound examination can be performed during menstruation depends on the examination site. Generally, if examination items other than gynecology are performed, they can also be done during menstruation, sometimes due to the influence of menstruation. However, if women need to undergo gynecological ultrasound examination, it is generally not recommended to do it during menstruation, as there may be errors in the examination results due to endometrial shedding and bleeding during menstruation.
Moreover, if a vaginal ultrasound examination is performed, the probe needs to be placed inside the female vagina, which may cause infection if the probe enters the vagina. Therefore, if it is not an urgent situation, gynecological ultrasound examination is still recommended to be performed after the end of menstruation. However, there are also some special diseases that need to be examined in the middle of menstruation, so specific situations can be consulted with clinical doctors.
It is generally not recommended to perform urine tests and other examination items during the menstrual period, as it may contaminate the examination sample and affect the examination results. Large surgeries should not be performed during the menstrual period, as it may cause excessive bleeding during surgery. Therefore, if you want to receive treatment or examination during the menstrual period, you need to consider the specific situation.
