Can vaginal infections be treated during menstruation?

Patient's question:

Hello, because I have vaginitis, I am currently undergoing treatment. However, today I had my period. Can I use vaginal cleansing liquid and vaginal medication? I only have two vaginal medication pills left. That is to say, tonight and tomorrow night will be the seventh day of vaginal medication, just two days short. The course of treatment could already be completed. To fully recover from vaginitis, it requires several courses of treatment, with medication either before or after the monthly period.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: According to the situation you mentioned, there is no problem! No need to worry! You can consider medication after your menstrual period is clean! As for how long it will take to completely treat it, it depends on what type of vaginal inflammation you have! Most women, after suffering from vaginal inflammation, feel embarrassed to speak up and use medication on their own, which is very unfavorable to the recovery of the condition. It is important to have a timely and thorough examination and treatment. For candidal vaginal inflammation, antifungal suppositories or tablets can be used, such as nystatin vaginal effervescent tablets, vaginal effervescent tablets, clotrimazole suppositories, miconazole suppositories, nystatin tablets, etc., which are placed vaginally. They can also be used in combination with systemic medication and alternated for 7 to 10 days.
