Can I have a blood test during my menstrual period?

During menstruation, women lose a lot of nutrients, and the body is relatively weak at this time, so we suggest that you eat more moist and nutritious foods during menstruation. When we find that there is something wrong with our health, we need to go to the hospital for a check-up. The most basic check-up item is a blood test. Therefore, some women are very concerned about whether they can have a blood test during their menstrual period.

Can I have my blood tested during my period?

Not recommended.

We do not recommend women to have blood tests during menstruation, mainly because this phase will secrete higher than normal estrogen, affecting the quality of the blood, it is likely that some indicators will be abnormal, and a lot of blood will be lost during the menstrual period. A routine blood test may reveal the main symptoms of anemia. If it is an emergency, then we need to follow the doctor's instructions. However, if we are doing a gonadal hormone test, we need to draw blood for testing on the second or third day of the menstrual period to reflect the basic levels of various indicators in the early stage of ovulation.

There may be impacts.

Women will have their periods only after growth hormone changes, and because of the changes in growth hormone, some abnormalities will occur in women's bodies. At this time, blood tests will especially affect the four coagulation tests and liver function tests.

Does having your period blood drawn for testing have any effect on the human body?

It's not easy. When doing a blood test, generally only 5 to 8 ml is needed, which is about 1/10 of each menstrual period, so in most cases it will not affect health. However, due to poor blood coagulation, if blood tests are required, we must stay in bed for a while longer.

We do not recommend blood tests during menstruation, because at this time the estrogen level is much higher than usual, which will affect the test results. Also, during this period, women's bodies are originally weaker. If more blood is drawn, it is likely to cause severe anemia in women.
