Patient's question:
My wife has vaginitis and wants to go to the hospital for a thorough examination, but it's the fifth day of her menstrual period. Can she still go?Doctor's answer:
Women cannot undergo a routine vaginal discharge examination during their menstrual period. It is recommended to have a routine vaginal discharge examination when abnormal discharge is observed. One day before the examination, it is strictly prohibited to have sexual intercourse, to clean the vagina, or to use vaginal medication. Patients suffering from vaginitis should actively undergo examination and treatment, avoiding hesitation to seek medical attention. If vaginitis does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
