Can I have a gynecological examination if my period hasn't finished?

Patient's question:

I had the treatment for cervical erosion in early December, but since the 16th, my menstrual period has been coming on and off. At first, it wasn't much, but on the 20th and 21st, it was heavier. However, it hasn't stopped until now. I want to ask if this is related to the treatment for cervical erosion? Is it okay? Could there be a problem?
First follow-up question: After the treatment, it has recovered very well. Why does this phenomenon still occur? How should it be treated?
Second follow-up question: Can I be examined now since my menstrual period hasn't stopped?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: According to the situation you mentioned, it is recommended that you actively continue treatment for your cervical erosion. Because your abnormal vaginal bleeding is highly related to cervical erosion. The occurrence of gynecological examinations not only affects women's health but also leads to the emergence of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and then provide symptomatic treatment. You should also pay attention to drinking more water and maintaining personal hygiene.
