You should take a shower the night before a routine leucorrhea examination. You should not wash the inside of the vagina within 24 hours before the examination, because this will wash away abnormal secretions and some potential cancer cells that may be detected through biopsy, affecting the doctor's correct diagnosis. Do not have sex the night before the examination, because the man's semen and the spermicide on the condom may appear in the test sample the next day and interfere with the doctor's judgment.
