Patient's question:
In a couple of days, I was supposed to go for a gynecological examination, but guess what? Today I got my period. Can I still have a gynecological examination during my period?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to help you! Many gynecological diseases require gynecological examinations, which are the most basic form of examination in gynecology. However, gynecological examinations are strictly prohibited during menstruation because menstruation involves bleeding. If an examination is performed during this time, it can easily lead to downward infections, resulting in conditions such as cervicitis, endometritis, or even endometriosis. Unless there are special circumstances, gynecological examinations are strictly forbidden during menstruation. Best regards!
