Patient's question:

Can you have sex before a gynecological exam? What can interfere with the results of the examination? How many major categories are there for gynecological diseases?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, you should not have sexual intercourse before a gynecological examination. During the gynecological examination, it is best to avoid your menstrual period to prevent any risk of infection during the procedure. You need to maintain a healthy lifestyle and dietary habits. Do not have sexual intercourse one week before and one week after the examination. In terms of your diet, focus on light foods, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and eat more fruits and vegetables.
