How many days after the menstrual period ends can I have a check-up?

Women in today's society face more and more pressure, and the pace of society is getting faster and faster, so it is not easy to manage their physical condition and their own time. Many times when women want to have a gynecological examination, they will encounter their menstrual period or physical discomfort, and the doctor will tell them that this is not a suitable time for the examination. So here we will introduce when is the appropriate time to have a gynecological examination.

Menstruation is a normal cyclical phenomenon for women and a sign of their maturity, but it is also a turbulent period. If women do not pay attention to self-care during menstruation, they may develop gynecological diseases. So can I have a gynecological examination right after my period? Experts point out that the best time for women to have a gynecological examination is 3-7 days after menstruation.

According to relevant experts, according to American standards, the rule for women of childbearing age to undergo gynecological examinations is to have a cervical cancer prevention examination once a year after the age of 18. If there are no problems for three consecutive years, they can be examined once every two years. After the age of 40, a mammogram should be done every year.

Generally speaking, it is not suitable for women to undergo gynecological examinations during menstruation. During menstruation, the cervix opens slightly, a wound is formed after the endometrium is exfoliated, and there is a small amount of menstrual blood in the vagina. In addition, the systemic and local resistance is low during menstruation. When the menstruation just ends, the wound formed after the endometrium is exfoliated has not yet fully recovered. If a vaginal examination is performed at this time, bacterial infection is likely to occur, which is harmful to health; if a gynecological examination is performed within 3 to 7 days after the menstruation ends, these disadvantages can be avoided.

In addition, some minor gynecological surgeries should also be scheduled within 3 to 7 days after the menstruation ends. Because menstruation has just stopped, the endometrial wound has not yet begun to repair, and there is still blood in the uterine cavity, which is prone to bacterial infection.

Women should try to avoid their menstrual period when undergoing gynecological examinations. And the best time to check is within three days after your period. If a woman is worried that she has some gynecological diseases, she can arrange to go to the hospital for a check-up within three days to one week after the end of her menstruation. She is not allowed to have sex before the check-up, and she is not allowed to clean her vagina.
