    Under normal circumstances, you can apply for a health certificate normally during your menstrual period. There is no need to adjust the appointment time. As long as you inform the medical staff in advance that you are in your menstrual period, it will not affect the issuance of the final health certificate.

    Last week, I accompanied my best friend who owns a milk tea shop to apply for a health certificate and happened to meet her aunt. She had already canceled the appointment on her mobile phone. When I applied for the health certificate, I asked my friend from the CDC who said it was no problem, so I dragged her there. When we arrived at the scene, we first did a medical and surgical physical examination, chest X-ray, liver function test and anal swab sampling. These items are not affected by menstruation at all. When it came to retaining urine, I mentioned to the nurse that she was on her period. The nurse directly put a "menstrual sampling" label on her sampling tube and said Either you can leave it on the same day, and it will be clearly marked in the report. Abnormal red blood cells will not be used as a basis for disqualification. If you are worried about problems, you can wait for 3 days before taking a retest. Anyway, the health certificate can be issued as long as all the results are qualified, and there is no extra cost for the retest.

    I've heard people say before that you can't apply for a health certificate during menstruation. In fact, it's a misunderstanding caused by not explaining it in advance, which resulted in you being asked to review the abnormality in your urine test. The core of current health certificate screening is whether there are infectious diseases such as dysentery, active tuberculosis, and viral hepatitis that can affect public health. Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon and is not a taboo for screening at all. If you check the local health certificate checklist in advance and find that there is no urine routine at all, then you don’t even need to mention it to the nurse. The whole process is no different from the usual physical examination.

    Of course, there are a few grassroots institutions that will suggest that you wait until your period is over before coming. This is not because they are deliberately making things difficult, but because they are afraid that they will notify you for a re-examination later, which will waste both parties' time. If you are not in a hurry to use the certificate, it is perfectly fine to wait for two or three days before going. If you are in a hurry to get the certificate, just go directly. Just mention it in advance, so as to save you a wasted trip to change the time.
