Patient's question:
I am 21 years old, female. Recently, I feel itchy in the perineum area, and I plan to have a comprehensive gynecological examination. What should I pay attention to before the gynecological examination?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to the time. During menstruation, gynecological examinations should not be performed. Additionally, it is strictly prohibited to engage in sexual activity to avoid altering the vaginal environment. Vaginal douching is strictly forbidden. Before a health check, vaginal douching can remove potential positive cells in the vagina, which will affect the results. Do not use vaginal medications to avoid disrupting the vaginal environment. During treatment, patients should follow a balanced diet, maintain a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental health. Maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
