As women, we all know that it is very important to regularly go to the hospital for physical examinations. This can help us know in a timely manner whether various organs and systems in the body are normal. However, when is the most appropriate time to do a physical examination? Actually, many women are not very sure. Some women who do physical examinations happen to have their menstrual period, and they want to know if women can undergo a physical examination during their menstrual period?
If women only undergo general physical examinations during their menstrual period, such as vision, ear, nose, throat, electrocardiogram, height, weight, blood pressure, internal medicine, surgery, etc., these examination items can be done, but blood routine is not recommended because the secretion of estrogen in the body increases during menstruation, which may affect the quality of blood. If blood routine is taken at this time, some indicators may deviate, and there is already blood loss during menstruation, which can easily cause dizziness and other discomfort.
During menstruation, women cannot undergo a urine routine test because menstrual blood may mix into the urine sample and contaminate the urine, resulting in a large number of red blood cells in the urine. During testing, doctors cannot determine whether the presence of a large number of red blood cells in the urine is caused by menstrual blood or diseases, which affects the test results. Therefore, a new examination is needed,
In addition, gynecological examinations and cervical TCT examinations are absolutely not allowed for women during menstruation. During menstruation, the cervix is in an open state, and gynecological examinations and cervical TCT examinations may cause external bacteria to enter the uterus, increasing the possibility of infection and inflammation. In addition, during menstruation, the uterus becomes congested and menstrual blood is discharged from the uterus, which can affect doctors' ability to judge whether the uterus and cervix are normal.
