Precautions before a gynecological examination?

Patient's question:

Lately, I've been feeling itchy down there, and my discharge has been a bit more than usual, and it's noticeably yellow. I'm planning to go to the hospital for a gynecological examination to check if everything is normal in terms of indicators, but I'm not sure what I should pay attention to or how much it will cost. Can you tell me about the precautions before a gynecological examination?

Doctor's answer:

It is still not recommended to have sexual activity before a routine gynecological examination. It is necessary to understand how unclean sexual activity can lead to infections. However, paying attention to relaxation and enhancing nutrition can also influence the results of a routine vaginal discharge test. After the examination, follow the doctor's advice and actively use vaginal medications as prescribed. During treatment, avoid consuming irritating foods. If reinfection occurs, it is recommended to use vaginal medications for conditioning.
