Can I have a physical examination during menstruation?

When going through the entry procedures, many companies require employees to provide health certificates, so employees need to go to the hospital for a physical examination and then submit the complete examination report to the company. However, some women do not know whether they can get checked during menstruation. If I don't go for a check-up, it may delay my time to start work. If I go for a check-up, I'm worried about causing harm to my body. So, can I have a physical examination during my menstruation?

1. It will affect the results of physical examination

When a woman has her period, her endocrine levels will change, so endocrine hormones will be affected and should not be performed; due to the influence of hormones, breast abnormalities will also occur, which will create a false impression during the physical examination and the results will be inaccurate.

In addition, due to the influence of menstruation, the urine used for testing may be significantly affected by menstruation or leucorrhea, resulting in inaccurate test results. During menstruation, women's coagulation function, liver function, etc. may show mild abnormalities, which may interfere with the judgment of test results.

The symptoms of some diseases are less obvious when women are menstruating, and it is not easy to find out the exact condition during examination. Therefore, it is not recommended to get checked during menstruation.

3. Very unhygienic

Gynecological examinations inevitably involve private parts examinations. If it is performed during menstruation and the menstrual blood has not completely cleared up, it will be inconvenient for the doctor to conduct the physical examination. Not only will the results be inaccurate, but it will also be extremely unhygienic.

4. Prone to gynecological infections

During menstruation, women's body resistance becomes weaker, and the endometrial exfoliation and bleeding form wounds and the cervix opens, which provide favorable conditions for the invasion of microorganisms during physical examinations during menstruation.

5. Can I have a physical examination if my period is coming soon?

When menstruation is about to come, it may also have some impact on the results of the physical examination. In particular, the test results of routine blood indicators and routine urine tests may be biased. In addition, gynecological examinations are not recommended. If a physical examination cannot be avoided, it is best to tell the doctor your condition truthfully before the examination.
