Through vaginal discharge testing, it is possible to determine whether a woman has inflammation of the reproductive organs or other diseases, so some people also describe vaginal discharge as a barometer of female reproductive health. However, some women may need to undergo this examination without knowing which time period is more appropriate. So, when is the best time to do a vaginal discharge check?
The time period for women to undergo routine laboratory tests for vaginal discharge is not very strict, mainly at any time except during menstruation. Therefore, women who need this examination can arrange to go to the hospital for examination according to their own time.
Usually, if there is ample time, it is recommended that women go for a check-up within 3-7 days after the end of their menstrual period. This period is better because if abnormal vaginal discharge is found during the check-up, such as gynecological inflammation or other disease factors, there is still a long time before the next menstrual period. This stage has a good treatment period, and if local vaginal suppositories or washings are needed, it is more suitable for this type of operation and treatment during non menstrual periods.
In addition, some gynecological diseases detected after routine vaginal discharge testing may only be mild gynecological inflammation, but we should also be vigilant and actively seek treatment. Especially for some acute gynecological inflammations, if not intervened and treated early, it may lead to a prolonged course of illness, resulting in chronic gynecological inflammations that increase the difficulty of treatment and are prone to stubborn recurrent attacks that cannot be completely cured.
