How to apply for a menstrual health certificate

During normal menstruation, you can apply for a health certificate on a routine basis, and there is no need to specially reschedule. Only for a small number of special positions that require special obstetric and gynecological examinations, you need to confirm with the physical examination institution in advance whether it needs to be postponed.

A while ago, I accompanied my cousin who owns a coffee shop in the business district to apply for a health certificate. She just happened to be with her aunt on her first day, and she couldn't straighten her waist. Before going out, she searched for a long time to see if she should change the time, fearing that she would be in vain. When I asked at the consultation desk of the community health service center, I was told that the health certificate examination in ordinary industries did not cover gynecological items at all. It was nothing more than drawing two tubes of blood to check infectious disease indicators such as liver function and hepatitis A and E, taking a chest X-ray to check for tuberculosis, and then doing a routine internal medicine palpation and leaving a stool sample to check for dysentery and typhoid fever. It is not affected by menstruation at all. Just be more careful when taking a stool sample and don't let menstrual blood mix in. Otherwise, if the sample is found to contain red blood cells, it may need to be collected again. I'm really afraid that you might not be able to tell the nurse who took the sample that you are on your period. They will also accommodate you, either by giving you a separate sampling tube and letting you take your time, or by filling in the stool sample results online afterwards. You won't be blocked directly.

Of course, many people think that it is not good to draw blood during menstruation for fear of aggravating physical weakness. This view is not entirely unreasonable. When I was helping at the physical examination center, I met a girl who had iron deficiency anemia. After drawing two tubes of blood during menstruation, she squatted in the rest area for about ten minutes to recover. If you have a particularly heavy menstrual flow and are prone to dizziness and fatigue during menstruation, you can wait for 3 days after menstruation is clear before going there. There is no need to force it. Are there still people worried that menstruation will affect blood test results? In fact, the fluctuations in indicators caused by normal menstrual cycles are within the threshold of the health certificate and will not affect the final result at all. There is no need to worry about this.

However, not all cases can be obtained during menstruation. If you are applying for a health certificate for a post in a child care institution or a mother-child care-related position, such positions usually require additional gynecological leucorrhea routine and gonococcal and chlamydia examinations. You will definitely not be able to do it during menstruation. If the sampling is not allowed, it is easy to cause infection. In this case, wait for 3 to 7 days to clean up before going, so as to avoid a wasted trip.

When you go, remember to bring your ID card and fast for 4 to 6 hours in advance. If you are worried about fainting, bring a chocolate and eat it right after the blood is drawn. If you are going during your menstrual period, wear looser clothes. Press the needle for five minutes and don't rub it after drawing. Otherwise, you will easily get a big bruise. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell the doctor and they will be accommodating. There are not as many rules as you think.
