Gynecological examination in the days after menstruation

Gynecological examination is best done within 3-7 days after menstruation because the vaginal discharge and cervical discharge are relatively less at this time, and the doctor’s visual field is relatively clearer during the examination. In addition to gynecological examination to find out whether there are superfluous organisms in the vagina and cervix, whether there are local inflammatory manifestations such as congestion and edema, it is also necessary to do a double examination to find out the size of the uterus, whether there are abnormal masses in the bilateral adnexal area and whether there is pressure pain in the uterine adnexa, mainly to exclude the possibility of pelvic inflammatory disease. In addition, cervical cancer screening is recommended once a year, including TCT and HPV test, and ultrasound examination can be done if necessary to find out whether there are small tumors in the uterus or adnexal area.
