Can I do a menstrual health certificate physical examination?

It is completely possible to have a health certificate physical examination during menstruation. In most cases, it will not affect the results and will not harm the body. Only in a few special circumstances is it recommended to postpone it.

Last week, I went to a community health service center near my home with my best friend who came to visit me the day before I started working. The first thing I asked the nurse at the guidance desk when I entered the door was whether I could do a health certificate physical examination during my period. The nurse waved her hand without even raising her head: "It's okay, go in. Just be careful not to get blood mixed in when you urinate." ”In the end, she successfully obtained the electronic certificate on the third day without even having to take a re-examination, and there was no delay in joining the company at all.

In fact, many people struggle with this issue, and most of them confuse general gynecological examinations with health certificate examinations. If you are doing a general gynecological physical examination that includes internal gynecological examination, TCT, and HPV screening, it is really not recommended during menstruation. It is easy to get infected and will affect the results. However, the core of the physical examination of the health certificate is to check for dysentery, typhoid fever, active tuberculosis, and infectious dermatitis. For infectious diseases such as skin diseases that affect public health, the routine items include medical and surgical routines, chest X-rays, liver function, urine routine, and fecal bacterial culture. They have nothing to do with the half-cent price of gynecological examinations. There is no hard limit of "cannot be done" at all.

What everyone is most worried about is nothing more than routine urine problems. There are indeed two different treatment suggestions in the industry.

One is that doctors who are afraid of trouble will advise you to wait for 3 days after menstruation. After all, it is easy for urine to be mixed with menstrual blood, causing false positive red blood cells in urine routine results. To put it bluntly, the urine itself is fine, but the sample is contaminated by menstrual blood, and the test shows that there is occult blood. You have to go back for a re-examination, which is troublesome for both doctors and patients.

But if you are in a hurry to get a certificate, there is no need to be dissuaded by this. I have helped the community organize the health certificate consultation records for half a year. Nine out of ten people who come for physical examinations in time for menstruation can get the results smoothly. As long as you wipe the vulva with a wet paper towel before collecting urine and leave the middle part of urine (that is, the part after peeing halfway), you can basically avoid sample contamination. If you are really worried, tell the nurse at the examination desk that you are in your menstrual period when you are collecting urine. The doctor will specifically mark it on the report. Even if a small amount of occult blood is detected, the influence of menstrual contamination will be directly ruled out and you will not be given a failure card casually.

As for other projects, there is nothing to worry about. Many people are afraid that taking blood during menstruation will cause anemia, which is harmful. The blood drawn for a health certificate is only 2-3ml, which is a fraction of the amount of bleeding your aunt once had. People who have been there will not be deficient at all, and indicators such as liver function and blood routine are minimally affected by menstruation, so the results will not be inaccurate at all. There are also chest X-rays and routine medical and surgical auscultation and palpation, which have no conflict with menstruation at all. Oh, and there is also the embarrassing stool sampling. As long as you pay attention to hygiene and use the disposable sampling tools provided by the hospital, there will be no impact at all.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that you have to carry it. If you are suffering from severe menstrual cramps that are so painful that you can’t stand without breaking out in a cold sweat, then there is really no need to make a special appointment for this time. The appointment for the health certificate physical examination can basically be adjusted at any time. It is better to go three to five days later when you feel better than waiting in line for half an hour while holding your stomach.

In general, there is no need to change your health certificate appointment just because you are visiting. If you are in a hurry, you can go without worry. If you are not in a hurry, it will be easier to wait until it is clean. You can come as you feel comfortable. There is really no need to worry.

Oh, by the way, a little tip at the end: Don’t panic if you happen to have mixed blood when you urinate. Take the report to the medical examiner to explain clearly your menstrual period. Most of them will check it for you directly. If it doesn’t work, a re-examination will be quick, so don’t worry too much.
