Can I do an ultrasound when I have my period?

In fact, it is best not to do an ultrasound during menstruation. Although this examination usually does not have much impact on your body, it will completely affect the results of the examination. Try to wait until your menstruation is over before doing the examination, so that your examination results can be more accurate and avoid any misdiagnosis. You can also check the health of your uterus.

During menstruation, you can choose to do an abdominal B-ultrasound to check for gynecological diseases, and it will not have any impact. However, during menstruation, gynecological examinations and digital electronic colposcopy examinations should not be performed as they will affect the results of the examinations and may also cause infection. During menstruation, you should keep warm, avoid catching cold, get adequate rest, do not take a sitz bath, but you can take a shower. You can use warm water to wash the vulva every day, and change sanitary napkins frequently every 2 to 3 hours. At the same time, sexual intercourse is also prohibited during menstruation.

If the menstruation is normal, it is not recommended to do color Doppler ultrasound during menstruation. You can observe the thickness of the endometrium 2-3 days after the menstruation ends. Some patients have prolonged menstruation and irregular bleeding. At this time, color Doppler ultrasound is needed to confirm whether the endometrium is abnormally thickened, and whether there are endometrial polyps, submucosal fibroids, or even tumors. In this case, patients need to be followed up regularly and undergo color Doppler ultrasound examination after a certain period of time. Compare two or even three color ultrasounds to confirm whether there are any changes in the patient before and after. The patient needs to cooperate with the clinician to achieve better treatment goals.

The amount of menstrual blood will be heavier in the first 1 to 3 days, and sometimes blood clots will appear, accompanied by dull pain in the lower abdomen. At this time, you can eat fried pork liver with sesame oil and ginger. In addition to supplementing iron, sesame oil and ginger also have the function of activating blood circulation, which is conducive to the smooth discharge of menstrual blood and blood clots.

After three days, you can eat pork kidney fried with sesame oil to help the contraction of the uterus and drain the menstrual blood. If you think this is too troublesome, you can actually eat sesame oil chicken or brown sugar and ginger soup throughout your menstrual period to help the uterus contract and drain the menstrual blood.

However, all of the above foods are relatively hot in nature. They are not suitable for people with a hot constitution or skin allergies (urticaria), obesity, high blood pressure, and high blood lipids. These people can instead have spinach and pork liver soup, pork blood soup, ginger and fish soup, or drink some chicken soup at the end of each period, or during menstruation, just pay attention to a balanced diet and eat more foods rich in calcium and iron such as: black sesame, spinach, seaweed, kelp, grapes, apples, and avoid ice cream and green tea.
