What is the reason for having a menstrual period after a gynecological examination?

Patient's question:

I went to the hospital yesterday for a gynecological examination, but after the examination, I had my period. What's going on with this?

Doctor's answer:

Second, consider the possibility of your menstrual period arriving earlier, as it is approximately normal for the period to be either one week early or late. Third, it is not ruled out that the bleeding may be caused by inflammation such as cervical inflammation or pelvic inflammation. Therefore, you can choose to wait and see for now. If about a week has passed, carefully observe the next menstrual period. If the bleeding lasts too long, you should consult a doctor and undergo an MRI examination. During the bleeding period, pay attention to keeping the external genital area clean to prevent infection.
