Can gynecological examinations be performed during the menstrual period?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can I have a gynecological examination during my menstrual period?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally it is not recommended to undergo routine gynecological examinations before the menstrual period is about to arrive, as it may affect the normal results. Additionally, improper examination procedures may also lead to abnormal secretions or injuries. It is advisable to pay more attention to hygiene and safety in these days, and avoid excessive stress. Please also monitor any accompanying symptoms such as poor appetite or lower back pain. You can undergo the examination actively after the menstrual period.
