Is it okay to have a gynecological examination during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I'd like to ask everyone, I don't know if undergoing a gynecological examination after getting pregnant will interfere with the fetus?

Doctor's answer:

Without knowing that you were pregnant, you underwent a gynecological examination. Generally, this gynecological examination mostly refers to a vaginal examination. Due to the weakened resistance and immunity after becoming pregnant, vaginal examinations are usually strictly prohibited. The main concern is that the weakened resistance may lead to inflammation. In your case, if there are no abnormal or uncomfortable symptoms, the interference to the fetus is generally not significant. Therefore, you can focus on careful observation and undergo regular prenatal check-ups. You can also take folic acid tablets.
