Can I do a physical if I have my period?



Answers:    it is best to reschedule if possible, but if this is out of the question it is best to attend rather then not have the consultation at all.. smear tests and pelvic examinations are all able to be done while you are menstruating, although it is normally not to the physicians preference:).
Yes you can get a physical if you are on your period. You can even have a pap smear done while on your period. It may seem a little gross to you but the doctor can still do everything that they need to do. Not a bad idea to reschedule but if there is an immediate need to see the doctor then yes it can be done. if it's a sports physical, sure. If it's a female check up...no. The gynecologist can't see anything if you are on your period. But for any other physical, like sports or occupational health...yes, you can get one..
yes you can...there's no reason really why you couldn't...(sounds kind of gross, but just keep a tampon in so no blood goes w/ it) Yes, because this is not a pap. The doctor will only check your body. Let the doctor know you are on your period though. .
I would defiantly cancel and do it another time. Green smiley throwing up ;~0 yes

a very messy physical=)
