There are many things that women need to pay attention to when they are menstruating, usually they need to keep warm, avoid overwork, avoid washing things with cold water, and avoid eating spicy food, raw food, or other irritating foods. However, in addition to some daily life precautions, physical examinations are also necessary. Physical examinations can detect small problems in the body early and provide timely treatment to avoid them becoming big problems. Let us understand how many days after the menstruation ends we can have a physical examination.

Generally, routine urine tests will be performed during the pre-employment physical examination. If the menstruation has not ended, it will affect the results of the routine urine test. It is better to go for the test two or three days after the menstruation has ended.

Physical examination Before drawing venous blood for examination, in order to more accurately determine the lipid components and serum enzymes, the patient should fast and abstain from water for 12 to 14 hours to avoid the effect of food on lipid concentration, especially the effect on triglycerides.

Drinking a lot of water will dilute the blood and affect the number of cells in the blood; drinking beverages or eating will also change the blood sugar concentration in the blood.

For diabetic patients, prolonged fasting, water deprivation, and activity and fatigue during physical examinations may cause hypoglycemia and ketoacidosis. Therefore, it is best for diabetic patients to have someone accompany them during physical examinations, and try to stay quiet, reduce activity, and have blood samples drawn as soon as possible. For examinations that require fasting, you should bring easily digestible foods, such as chocolate, milk, biscuits, etc. If you experience symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, cold sweats, etc., eat the above foods immediately to ensure safety. After eating, when drawing blood samples, you can explain the situation to the blood drawer and mark it to facilitate analysis of the results. After completing the required fasting test, you may eat and take medications as usual. Other examinations should be performed after eating and taking medicine.

After the menstruation is over, women should also take care of their bodies.

Eat fresh food, especially in summer, don't eat expired or spoiled food. Remember to take a bath frequently every day, and exercise in summer. Only good habits can lead to a good physique.
