When is the best time to have a gynecological checkup?

I believe that for many female friends who are married and have children, what bothers them most are some gynecological diseases. If these diseases are not better controlled and treated, they will also lead to the crisis of cervical cancer. Therefore, as modern women pay more and more attention to their own health, regular gynecological examinations are very necessary. So when is the best time to have a gynecological check-up? In the next period of time, please join me in reading the following content.

The best time for gynecological examination

Generally speaking, the best time for a gynecological examination is 3-7 days after the end of menstruation. At this time, the old endometrium has been shed, the new endometrium has just begun to grow, and the thickness of the endometrium is moderate. Performing the operation at this time will not damage the endometrium and cause excessive bleeding. However, if there is persistent irregular vaginal bleeding, or sudden heavy bleeding accompanied by abdominal pain, fainting, or swelling, you should not mechanically wait for the menstruation to end, so as not to delay the disease.

Examination can be performed at any time when it is necessary to exclude malignant lesions. Patients with prolonged bleeding should use antibiotics to control infection in advance. The patency check of the uterus, the insertion or removal of the contraceptive ring, cervical treatment, hysteroscopy, hysterography, etc. should all be performed 3 to 7 days after the end of menstruation, and sexual intercourse is prohibited from after menstruation to before the examination to prevent infection.

Why is it not suitable to have a gynecological examination during menstruation?

Gynecological examinations are not suitable during menstruation, not only because women have heavy menstrual bleeding, making the examination inconvenient, but the main reason is that examinations during menstruation are likely to cause misdiagnosis and even cause inflammation of the female reproductive organs.

During menstruation, the cervix opens slightly and the endometrium has wounds. During examination, bacteria can easily be introduced and cause inflammation of reproductive organs such as the endometrium and fallopian tubes. If not handled properly, it can also cause long-term low back pain, abdominal pain and other problems. In addition, during gynecological examinations, endometrial fragments shed during menstruation may be squeezed into the uterine muscle wall, fallopian tubes, and even the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis and gradually worsening dysmenorrhea.

The above paragraphs have given us a good introduction to the best time for gynecological examinations. I sincerely hope that all female friends can read the above content carefully so that they can choose the best time for gynecological examinations in their daily lives. This will make the examination results most accurate, and also help identify some of the underlying symptoms and causes of gynecological problems, so that better targeted treatment can be given.
