Women are not suitable for gynecological examinations during menstruation. The process of gynecological examination requires the use of a speculum to look at the cervix and vagina, but during menstruation, it is inappropriate to do these examinations due to bleeding. Also, performing gynecological exams during menstruation is prone to increase infections, so if you are just having a routine gynecological exam, avoid the menstrual period. However, if you have stomach discomfort and increased menstrual flow during menstruation, you can still come to the hospital. Generally, ultrasound of the pelvic cavity can be done, and if you need to draw blood for laboratory tests, there is no problem, as menstruation does not affect the results of laboratory tests. Except for blood sampling and ultrasound, other gynecological examinations are not appropriate during menstruation.
