How many days after menstruation can a gynecological examination be performed?

Patient's question:

I had my period just two days ago, and I need to have a gynecological examination. How many days after the period is it okay to have a gynecological examination?

Doctor's answer:

I don't know exactly what you want to check. If it's just an ultrasound, you can go after your period ends. If it's a routine vaginal discharge test or colposcopy, you need to wait three days after your period ends to do the test. Because the items checked are different, their regulations are also different. It's not that all gynecological exams can be done at any time. Most of them are done three days after the period ends.
