    You can apply for a health certificate normally during menstruation, and the process is no different from that during non-menstrual period. There is no need to stagger the application period. Only if you have severe dysmenorrhea, heavy menstrual flow, etc., and are temporarily unable to cooperate with blood collection, anal swab sampling, etc., you need to consider delaying the application until about 3 days after the end of your menstrual period.

    I just ran with my best friend who was about to join the catering industry last month. She happened to run into her aunt on her first day. She was so painful that she had to hold on to the wall even while standing. I was already prepared to apply to HR to delay her joining, so I called the community health service center near my home with a try. The other party said that as long as she can cooperate to complete the project, it can be done. If she is really uncomfortable, it will be no problem if she waits for two or three days. The application channel can be submitted at any time. She later took a piece of ibuprofen to calm down. She filled in the information on the local government service applet that day and chose a physical examination number for the next day. When she went to go for the examination the next day, she specifically mentioned to the doctor that she was on her period. The nurse was very gentle during the anal examination and was very careful before taking urine samples. He deliberately reminded her to wipe her vulva clean first and collect the mid-section urine to avoid mixing with menstrual blood. The final result showed that only the urine red blood cells were slightly high. The doctor directly noted on the report that "menstrual sampling has no clinical significance" and directly judged her to be qualified. She got the certificate in three days, without any delay in joining the job.

    There have been a lot of related discussions on the Internet before. Some people said that it is best not to do it during menstruation. There is a high probability of false positives in urine tests and need to be re-tested. Instead of tormenting, it is better to wait until it is over.; Some people say that as long as you inform the doctor in advance, there will be no problem and there is no need to wait. In fact, both of these statements are based on reality. If you are not in a hurry, waiting until the end of your menstrual period can indeed save you the trouble of possible re-examination. However, if you are tight on time, you can apply normally and explain the situation to the medical staff in advance. Now most designated institutions will make targeted remarks and will not treat abnormal indicators caused by mixed menstrual blood as health problems.

    Nowadays, in most cities, there is no need to go to the site to make an appointment. You can directly search for "health certificate application" on the local disease control official account or government APP, choose a designated physical examination institution that is convenient for you, fill in your personal information, and select the corresponding health certificate type. For example, there are more food types than ordinary public services. The cost of several intestinal pathogenic bacteria screenings mostly ranges from tens to more than a hundred. Just bring your ID card and go on an empty stomach according to the appointment time. If you really feel uncomfortable and cannot do a certain project when you arrive at the site, just tell the front desk directly. Most of them can apply for a postponement, and there is no need to cancel the application and go through the process again.

    To be honest, there is no need to take hormonal drugs to delay menstruation in order to obtain a health certificate. It is completely unnecessary. The core of the health certificate screening is whether there are dysentery, typhoid fever, active tuberculosis, infectious skin diseases and other issues that may affect public health. The physiological changes during menstruation do not affect the determination of these indicators at all. Just do whatever is convenient for you.
