Does unhygienic menstruation cause a recurrence of vaginitis?

Patient's question:

Female, 30 years old, I have vaginitis, it's very itchy down there, especially itchy every morning. I have already gone to the hospital and been prescribed oral medication. At first, it was effective, but then it started itching again. Does poor hygiene during menstruation cause vaginitis to recur?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you mentioned and the careful examination results, it proves that you have vaginitis. You should follow the doctor's advice and focus on treatment. Additionally, I'd like to remind you that during your period, you can use a shower to clean the external genitalia, but avoid washing with a basin. This is not hygienic and may lead to the transmission of diseases. There are many methods for treating diseases, but since the patient's condition is different, the treatment methods will also vary. Therefore, it is necessary for the patient to go to a professional hospital for detailed testing as soon as possible to prescribe the right medication.
