Can I do a gynecological examination during ovulation?

The female ovary is an important reproductive organ. Its main function is to secrete eggs. The ovulation period of the female body mainly refers to the period when the ovaries produce eggs. Although a woman's body during ovulation is not as weak as during menstruation, there are still many things to pay attention to, because the egg is related to a woman's fertility. Female friends should have regular gynecological examinations. So can they have gynecological examinations during the ovulation period?

Can I do a gynecological examination during ovulation?

Gynecological examination can be done during ovulation period. However, it may not be appropriate to do a check after having sex. Women with regular menstruation usually ovulate 14 days before the next menstrual period. The ovulation period is a total of 10 days, including the 5 days before and 4 days after ovulation. There is no way for women with irregular menstruation to calculate their ovulation period. They can determine the ovulation period by observing leucorrhea, measuring basal body temperature, measuring ovulation test strips, and monitoring ovulation under B-ultrasound.

Ovulation is the process by which the egg cell and the surrounding cumulus granulosa cells are released. Under normal menstruation conditions, a woman's ovulation period is counted from the first day of the next menstruation to the 14th day as the ovulation day. The 5 days before and 4 days after the ovulation day add up to the ovulation period.

This is because the egg can survive in the fallopian tube for 1-2 days after being released from the ovary, waiting for fertilization; the male's sperm can maintain its fertilization ability for 2-3 days in the female's reproductive tract, so it is easy to get pregnant through sexual intercourse a few days before and after the egg is released. Therefore, to be on the safe side, the 5 days before and 4 days after ovulation, together with the ovulation day, a total of 10 days is generally called the ovulation period. Since it is easy to get pregnant during sexual intercourse during the ovulation period, the ovulation period is also called the fertile period or the dangerous period.

How many days does ovulation last?

1. Generally speaking, a woman's ovulation period is 10 days.

A normal woman will ovulate once every menstrual cycle (usually once a month). The day of ovulation is called the "ovulation day". The 5 days before the ovulation day, the 4 days after the ovulation day, plus the ovulation day, are the woman's ovulation period. Therefore, women's ovulation period is 10 days.

2. Not everyone’s ovulation period is 10 days.

As the pace of modern life continues to accelerate, women are increasingly affected by the real environment. In addition, women's emotions, diet, lifestyle habits, etc. all affect their ovulation. When a woman with a relatively regular rhythm of life suddenly changes her lifestyle habits, if the body does not adjust in time, the endocrine system may be affected, and the menstrual period may be advanced or delayed. Then the length of the ovulation period will fluctuate with the changes in the menstrual period. Therefore, the 10-day ovulation period is only an approximate time range, and in fact, a woman's ovulation period is generally less than 10 days.

3. The effective conception time during the ovulation period is 7 days.

Since the ovulation period is not necessarily a fixed ten days, how long is the effective pregnancy time if you have sex during the ovulation period? Generally speaking, the survival time of a normal woman's egg is about 2 days, up to 3 days, and less than 12 hours. A man's sperm can generally survive in a woman's body for 3 to 5 days, usually 4 days.

In other words, the effective conception time during the ovulation period is generally 5 days before female ovulation, because sperm can survive in the female body for up to 5 days, and 2 days after female ovulation, because the egg can only survive in the female body for 2 days after being released. In other words, the effective conception time is generally about 7 days.
