    Of course you can. Menstruation does not affect the application of the health certificate at all. There is no need to wait for the end of menstruation before making a trip. I just accompanied my friend Xiao Zhou to apply for a health certificate for employment two weeks ago. It was her second day at her aunt's visit. Before leaving, she was debating whether to cancel the appointment for a long time. When she arrived at the physical examination center, she mentioned to the guidance desk that she was on her period. The nurse said directly that it didn't matter, just pay more attention during the urine test later. She completed all the projects smoothly that day, and the certificate she got a week later had no problems at all.

    Of course, many people will suggest that it is best to avoid menstrual period. This does not mean that it cannot be done. The main reason is that they are afraid that menstrual blood will accidentally mix in when urine is retained, resulting in a false positive result of urinary occult blood, which will require an extra trip for re-examination, which is a bit time-consuming. I met such a girl last time at the physical examination center. She didn't pay much attention to avoid menstrual blood when she was collecting urine. The result of the urine test report showed that the occult blood was 3+. She was so frightened that she told the doctor that she was menstruating. The doctor marked her as a special condition on the spot. All other infectious-related items were normal, so she was given the test without asking for a re-examination.

    After all, the core of the health certificate is to check for diseases that affect public health, such as dysentery, typhoid fever, active tuberculosis, and infectious hepatitis. Menstruation is just a normal physiological stage for women. It will not affect the test results of these diseases. It is not an infectious problem in itself, and will not be an obstacle to obtaining the certificate at all. If you happen to be in your menstrual period and are in a hurry to use the certificate, just go without worry. Tell the sampling nurse in advance that you are on your period before you urinate. When you urinate, wipe your vulva first and collect the urine in the middle. There will basically be no problems. If you are really not in a hurry, it is completely ok to go after your period. Whatever is convenient for you.
