Introduction
In general, "da yima" refers to menstruation. Whether having a period during a teaching qualification medical examination will have an impact mainly depends on the specific items included in the exam. For routine physical examination items, menstruation usually does not affect the results. However, if a urinalysis is conducted, it may influence the test outcomes. Before the examination, women can consult the relevant department or a doctor and schedule their examination time appropriately based on individual circumstances.

Generally speaking, "da yi ma" refers to menstruation. Whether menstruation affects a physical examination for teacher qualification certification mainly depends on the specific items included in the exam. For routine examination items, menstruation usually does not affect the results. However, it may impact the outcomes of urinalysis. The detailed analysis is as follows:

If the examination includes routine items such as height and weight measurement, vision and hearing tests, cardiopulmonary function assessment, internal and surgical examinations, liver and kidney function tests, electrocardiogram (ECG), and chest X-ray, menstruation will not interfere with these results. These tests evaluate overall health and basic physiological functions, which are not directly related to the menstrual cycle.

However, if a urinalysis is performed during menstruation, endometrial shedding and bleeding may cause red blood cells to mix into the urine sample, leading to a false-positive result for occult blood in the urinalysis and affecting the accuracy of the test. It is recommended to inform the doctor beforehand and reschedule the urinalysis after menstruation ends.

Prior to the examination, women can consult the relevant department or physician and reasonably schedule their examination time according to individual circumstances.
