Doctor's answer:
1. Do not have sex in the same roomDuring a gynecological examination, do not have sex. Therefore, after having sex, semen will enter the woman's vagina, which may affect the accuracy of the examination results during the check.
2. Do not use vaginal medication
For women who are aware of vaginal issues, it is common to use vaginal medications to suppress symptoms in daily life. However, if medication is still used before the examination, it will cover the unhealthy cells, ultimately affecting the doctor's judgment.
3. Do not clean the vagina
Some women feel embarrassed before a gynecological examination and may overclean their vagina, which is actually incorrect. It is important not to clean the vagina before a gynecological examination. Cleaning the vagina at this time may wash away bacteria, making it impossible for the doctor to diagnose the condition.
4. Pay attention to diet
Before a gynecological examination, pay close attention to your diet. Avoid overly stimulating foods, including greasy and indigestible foods. Alcohol should also be avoided.
5. Pay attention to rest
The day before a gynecological examination, it is important to rest and avoid strenuous exercise. Ensure you get enough sleep and maintain a relaxed mood to avoid affecting the final examination results.
