Can I take a medical examination during my menstrual period?

Competition in today's society is very fierce. There may be a lot of people competing for one position. Of course, it would be very happy if you could stand out from the many applicants. However, most positions now have very strict requirements on the physical health of applicants, and pre-employment physical examinations are definitely required. But for women, can they take the pre-employment physical examination if they are in their menstrual period?

Yes, it can be done. Menstruation generally does not affect the results of the physical examination. The only thing that is affected is the routine urine test. Because the distance between the female vagina and urethra is closer. Urinalysis during menstruation may reveal occult blood in the urine. No other impact.

You can remind your doctor to mark your menstrual period when doing a urine routine test. No vaginal examination can be performed.
