Can I go for a physical examination after my menstrual period has just ended

Having just finished menstruation usually allows for a physical examination, but some examination items may need to be avoided during menstruation. Routine physical examination items such as blood routine, urine routine, and liver function tests are generally not affected at the end of menstruation. gynecological ultrasound examination should avoid menstruation through the vaginal route, and there are no restrictions on the abdominal route. Breast examination, electrocardiogram, chest X-ray and other non reproductive system related items can all be performed normally. Cervical cancer screening is recommended to be conducted 3-7 days after the end of menstruation, when there is less cervical secretion and the test results are more accurate. Special items such as bone density examination and tumor marker detection are not directly related to the menstrual cycle. If gynecological examinations or uterine procedures are required, it is recommended to consult a doctor to confirm the optimal time. Before the physical examination, sufficient sleep should be maintained, vigorous exercise should be avoided, and loose clothing should be worn for easy examination. Individuals with symptoms of anemia may postpone blood tests appropriately and bring hygiene supplies for backup on the day of the physical examination. Three days before the physical examination, avoid vaginal flushing or using medication suppositories, and maintain a normal diet.
