Can I have a gynecological examination if my menstruation is not clean?

Patient's question:

Vaginal itching, menstrual flow is less than before, what's going on? The doctor said to do a gynecological examination after the menstruation is clean. If the menstruation is not clean, can I do a gynecological health examination? There is still some residual, can I do a transvaginal ultrasound today?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is okay to have a gynecological examination three days after the menstrual period is clean. During the menstrual period, it is not advisable to have a thorough gynecological examination to avoid menstrual blood affecting the examination results. It is recommended to rest and avoid overexertion. For gynecological examinations, appointments are usually required based on the specific examination items to prevent the recurrence of inflammation and infection.
In most cases, a gynecological examination can be performed 3-7 days after the menstrual period is clean. This allows for a better differentiation between functional and organic dysmenorrhea, which is more beneficial for subsequent treatment.
