Routine vaginal discharge examination is a basic item of gynecological physical examination. Based on whether various indicators are normal, women's physical health status can be distinguished. Can I have a routine check for vaginal discharge just after my menstrual period?
Generally speaking, it is not recommended to undergo routine vaginal discharge examination immediately after the end of menstruation. Due to the recent end of menstruation, there may be residual menstrual blood in the vagina, which may affect the routine examination results of vaginal discharge. Generally speaking, the routine examination for vaginal discharge is conducted 3 days after the menstrual cycle is completely clean, without vaginal flushing or medication, and without sexual activity. Try not to use lubricants on the endoscope before the examination to avoid affecting the results. Take 1/3 of the vaginal sidewall secretion for testing, remove the secretion, and immediately send it for testing to avoid prolonging the time and affecting the test results. If there is a special pathogen infection, take medication under the guidance of a doctor based on the test results. Generally speaking, when taking medication, pay attention to keeping the external genitalia clean, change underwear frequently, and refrain from sexual activity, which will gradually lead to recovery.
