Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with vaginitis in March of this year. These past few days, I have been taking traditional Chinese medicine and using many Western medicine topical solutions. I have been feeling quite good, and the vaginitis has not worsened. However, yesterday morning, I suddenly noticed that I had started experiencing vaginal bleeding, but it was not during my menstrual period. What should I do if the medication for vaginitis causes skin irritation?Doctor's answer:
If there is only a very small amount of skin peeling, you can focus on medication. If the amount of bleeding is significant, you need to pause medication and then go to the hospital for a re-examination. Switch to a different medication for treatment, considering that this may be a reaction caused by the drug's stimulation. Vaginal infections come in many different types and require targeted medication. Poor personal hygiene is closely related to this, so during treatment, it is essential to maintain dryness in the private area at all times. Avoid sexual relations to prevent transmission to others.
