Female friends should pay attention to reproductive health, so it is best to undergo regular gynecological examinations. This can detect diseases early and provide timely treatment, which is less difficult to treat. When women undergo gynecological examinations, they should choose the appropriate time for the examination. So, can gynecological examinations be done during menstruation?
Women are not allowed to undergo gynecological examinations during their menstrual period. Due to the interference of menstrual blood during menstrual examination, it is difficult to see the specific condition of the uterus and vagina clearly. It is difficult for doctors to determine whether bleeding is caused by menstruation or damage to the cervical and vaginal mucosa, so it is very easy to misdiagnose.
During menstruation, gynecological examinations, especially during gynecological double diagnosis, can easily cause uterine contractions. Due to the accumulation of blood in the uterine cavity, menstrual blood may flow back into the pelvic cavity, leading to serious consequences such as endometriosis. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, one should never undergo gynecological examinations during menstruation.
If women want to undergo gynecological examinations, it is best to wait for 3-7 days after their menstrual period is over. Because at this point, the menstrual blood is already clean and the endometrium has just proliferated, allowing doctors to clearly observe the situation inside the uterus is beneficial for disease detection and diagnosis. And at this time, the endometrium is relatively thin, making it less likely to cause bleeding symptoms.
