Patient's question:
Recently, my Leqing hasn't been normal for the past half month. Not only has the amount of leukorrhea increased, but there is also an unpleasant odor and unbearable vaginal itching. I want to go to a gynecological hospital for a physical examination. Can I have a gynecological examination the day before my period ends? Because it happens to be my day off, will it affect the careful examination results?Doctor's answer:
On the day before the menstrual period is clean, a gynecological examination is performed to prove that this stage is still within the range of menstruation. Due to the relatively weakened immunity, most do not recommend performing a gynecological examination during this period, as it may worsen the recurrence of infection. Generally, it is necessary to wait for at least 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period is clean before carrying out a gynecological examination at the local hospital. During this stage, it is also not recommended to use vaginal irrigation or medication, as it may affect the examination results.
