Can I apply for a menstrual health certificate?

In most cases, you can apply for a health certificate normally during your menstrual period, and it will not affect the validity of the certificate. There is no need to deliberately stagger the time.

In accordance with the requirements of the country's "Measures for the Administration of Preventive Health Examinations", the core screening items of the health certificate are to screen for infectious diseases such as dysentery, typhoid fever, active tuberculosis, and infectious skin diseases that are harmful to public health. Menstruation is just a normal cyclical physiological phenomenon for women and is completely unrelated to the screening indicators for these infectious diseases, and will naturally not affect the results.

What everyone is most worried about is whether routine urine testing will be contaminated by menstrual blood and cause false positives in red blood cells. This situation is indeed possible, but it can also be easily solved. A while ago, I accompanied my cousin, who works part-time at a milk tea shop, to apply for a health certificate. It happened to be her first day at the aunt's house. She was afraid of running away in vain, but when she mentioned it to the medical examination desk that she was on her period, she was told that it was too common and asked her to pay attention when collecting urine. Just wipe the vulva clean and collect the mid-section urine. Even if red blood cells are found in the urine later, the menstrual period will be noted and the abnormality will not be directly determined. If you are really worried, you can wait until the menstrual period is over and come back for a free routine urine test without having to go through the whole process again. She completed all the projects in less than 40 minutes that day, and got her certificate on time and started working a week later, without any delay.

Of course, many people suggest that it is best to stagger the menstrual period. This consideration is also very reasonable. If you are not in a hurry, it will naturally be more worry-free to wait until your aunt has left. This will save you an extra trip for re-examination in case of sample contamination.； There are even some physical examination centers that are afraid of troublesome explanations and will proactively suggest that you postpone your visit. This is not a hard requirement. If you are in a hurry to use your certificate, you can communicate clearly with the staff, and most of them will be accommodating.

There are also many young girls who are worried that applying for a health certificate requires a gynecological examination, which will embarrass them when visiting their aunt. In fact, they are completely unnecessary. Health certificates in ordinary industries will not involve gynecological internal examinations or exclusive gynecological screening items. Unless there are additional customized requirements for special positions, routine examinations will not touch this issue at all, and there is no need to be mentally burdened.

If you are really unsure, you can also call the physical examination center where you are going to ask in advance. It only takes a few minutes to save you a wasted trip.~
