I'm trying to figure out the right time for some tests after my period. How many days should I wait for my blood and urine tests to give accurate results? Also, do you think it's necessary to have a physical examination of the vagina to check for a fungal infection? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate your advice.

For accurate blood and urine tests, it's ideal to wait at least 5-7 days after your period ends, as hormone levels and other factors can fluctuate during menstruation. Regarding fungal infections, a physical examination of the vagina is often required to accurately diagnose and treat the condition, as visual inspection and sometimes a swab are necessary for confirmation.
