Patient's question:
I've had my baby for a year now, and I've never had a gynecological examination. I remembered that I have some free time today and wanted to get a thorough check-up. But my period just ended two days ago. Is it okay to have a gynecological examination today?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, a gynecological examination for women should be performed 3-7 days after the menstrual period ends, as this period is when vaginal discharge increases and the risk of other complications is lower. In your case, as long as your menstrual period is completely over, you can have a gynecological examination at the hospital. It is recommended that you wear loose pants, which are also easier to put on and take off. Spicy and irritating foods can increase menstrual flow and are not suitable to eat. It is advisable to drink some warm rice porridge or brown sugar water and pay attention to nutritional supplementation.
