Can I drink milk soybean milk before my physical examination

Milk or soybean milk is usually not allowed to drink before physical examination. Fasting is a routine requirement for most physical examination items. Milk and soybean milk may interfere with the accuracy of blood sugar, blood lipids and other test results.

Keep an empty stomach 8-12 hours before physical examination. Milk and soybean milk contain protein, fat and other components, which may affect the detection of blood biochemical indicators. For example, chylomicrons can cause serum turbidity and interfere with triglyceride measurements; The plant protein in soybean milk may cause the false increase of urea nitrogen. Some special examinations, such as gastroscopy and abdominal ultrasound, require strict fasting and drinking restrictions. Drinking liquid foods at this time can lead to examination failure.

In rare cases, children or patients with diabetes need to adjust their diet according to the doctor's advice. People at risk of hypoglycemia can drink a small amount of sugar free soybean milk under the guidance of doctors, but they must inform the laboratory in advance. For situations where medication is necessary, it is allowed to administer medication with a small amount of water, but specific regulations must be confirmed with the medical examination institution. Three days before the physical examination, one should maintain a light diet and avoid high-fat and high sugar foods. After completing the fasting program, it is recommended to eat in a timely manner and bring healthy snacks such as whole wheat bread and nuts. If abnormal indicators need to be rechecked, the dietary preparation requirements guided by medical personnel should be strictly followed.
