Can I check my vaginal discharge the next day after my period ends?

Many women think that discharge is harmless, as long as the body does not feel pain or itching. In fact, this is an incorrect understanding. Although many inflammations do not cause pain or itching, they will be reflected in discharge. Therefore, discharge is a "weather map" of women's physical and mental health. Generally, in gynecological examinations, routine leucorrhea examination is a basic new item, and the physical condition of the human body can be judged by whether the various indicators of the new item are normal. So, how many days during the menstrual period can you check the secretions?

You can check the secretion on the clean days of your menstrual period

The secretion is a milky white and viscous liquid discharged from the vagina, which has the effect of inhibiting the growth and reproduction of bacteria. If an inflammation is not treated in time, it is easy to cause a variety of gynecological inflammation combined infection, which will increase the difficulty and time of treatment; if it is not treated for a long time, the inflammation is more likely to become malignant and cause female infertility; the number one culprit for women - cervical cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignant tumors. Globally, more than 200,000 women die from cervical cancer each year. Many patients with cervical erosion have a history of increased leucorrhea, blood in leucorrhea, pain or bleeding during sexual intercourse, low back pain, abdominal pain, discomfort during urination, etc. It is difficult to distinguish between cervical erosion and early cervical cancer with the naked eye. Therefore, it is more necessary to rely on routine leucorrhea examination and clinical medical examination as a yardstick for diagnosis.

Routine examination of leucorrhea is a common gynecological examination. It is a physical examination related to women's physical health to determine whether a woman has abnormal leucorrhea by testing five items, including vaginal pH value, leucorrhea cleanliness, and vaginal microbial species.

Routine examination of leucorrhea can detect vaginitis caused by various bacterial infections, such as fungi, Trichomonas, Gardnerella, fungi, white blood cell count, pH value, etc. The normal cleanliness level is I-II. If it is above III, it indicates the possibility of vaginitis or cervicitis, which needs to be distinguished by combining other items. If the test result is positive for "Trichomonas", it is "Candidal vaginitis"; if the test result is positive for "Fungus", it is "Fungal urethritis".

The best time to conduct a routine examination of leucorrhea is three days after the menstrual period ends. Generally speaking, it is recommended to have a gynecological examination 3-7 days after the menstrual period is over, including abdominal B-ultrasound examination, leucorrhea examination, etc. Before the examination, pay attention to keep the vulva clean and hygienic.

The main parts of routine leucorrhea examination include: cleanliness, chlamydia, trichomonas, bacteria, Gardnerella, etc. A cleanliness level of 1-2 is considered normal, and a level of 3 is considered inflamed. If the results of other tests are positive, the cleanliness level is usually 4. Doctors will generally judge whether it is vaginitis based on such results.
