Can the test be performed during the menstrual period?

Patient's question:

I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially severe during my period, and I'm very worried it might affect fertility. I also feel extremely cold and fear the cold. Can the test be done during the menstrual period?

Doctor's answer:

Hello,,any time is available. Blood tests should not be conducted during menstruation and should be done after the menstrual period has ended. Before pregnancy, both partners should try to avoid X-ray examinations (especially abdominal ones). If the condition requires an examination, pregnancy should be avoided for 4 weeks afterward. The effect of X-rays on the fetus is relatively complex.
