What should be prepared before a gynecological examination?

Patient's question:

I had my period just a few days ago and had sex with my husband. There were some bloodstains on my underwear, and I also have increased leukorrhea, itching, and it feels like a bacterial infection. My underwear is full of leukorrhea, and I feel very uncomfortable. I need to get a gynecological examination. What should I prepare before the gynecological examination? Can I eat breakfast before going?

Doctor's answer:

There is abnormal leukorrhea and bleeding during intercourse, which could be possible signs of vaginitis or cervicitis. If you go to the hospital for a thorough examination, you can eat breakfast beforehand, as it will not interfere with the examination results. Three days before the examination, for example, if you go to the hospital on the 4th, you should not have sexual intercourse starting from the 1st, and you should also avoid vaginal washing or vaginal medication, as this may affect the examination results.
