Can couples have sex the night before pre-pregnancy tests?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can a couple have sex the night before a pre-pregnancy check-up?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is recommended to start health checks 3 to 6 months before pregnancy, including for both partners. The best time for a woman to have a pre-pregnancy checkup is 3 to 7 days after her menstrual period ends. It is important to avoid sexual intercourse. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a patient's life but can also lead to further gynecological issues. Therefore, it is best to visit a hospital's gynecology department for a routine checkup. Once the cause is identified, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
