Patient's question:
Is it okay to go to the hospital for a thorough gynecological examination right after having sex? Will there be any interference?Doctor's answer:
Generally, when undergoing a gynecological examination, it is best not to have sexual intercourse three days before the check-up. Sexual activity may alter the vaginal environment and introduce other pathogens into the uterus. In daily life, it is essential to pay attention to cleaning the external genitalia and keeping them dry at all times. Wear loose cotton underwear and can use physiological saline for cleaning. Avoid spicy, irritating, and extremely cold foods. Prioritize a light diet.
