Questions & Answers about Po badaniu lekarz mówi, że moje ciśnienie jest trochę za niskie.

Why is it po badaniu and not po badanie?

Because the preposition po usually takes the locative case when it means after.

• badanie = examination, test
• po badaniu = after the examination

So:

• nominative: badanie
• locative: badaniu

This is a very common pattern:

• po obiedzie = after lunch
• po pracy = after work
• po spotkaniu = after the meeting

What exactly does po mean here?

Here po means after.

So Po badaniu means After the examination or Following the examination.

Be careful: po can mean different things in other contexts, for example:

• po polsku = in Polish
• iść po chleb = go to get bread
• po stole = along/on the table

But in this sentence, it clearly means after.

Why is there no word for the in Po badaniu lekarz mówi?
