Patient's question:
Recently these past few days, I've been feeling extremely painful in my vagina, feeling like it's almost unbearable. I also have vaginitis, and after taking some medication, I didn't feel much improvement. Regarding vaginitis and vaginal medication, what should I do if I start medication right after my period ends and it causes my skin to break?Doctor's answer:
It is better to wait for about three days after the menstrual period has ended before taking medication. If the menstrual period has not completely stopped, using local medication may easily lead to infection. It is recommended to use oral medication as the primary treatment. During the medication period, pay attention to personal hygiene. It is best to sterilize towels, basins, and underwear and underpants by boiling them with hot water to prevent the use of public items and maintain good living habits. Regularly visit the hospital for follow-up examinations to closely monitor the recovery process. Vaginal infections are not easily resolved. Patients should always maintain a positive attitude and face the condition with optimism. Only in this way can they enhance their confidence in combating vaginal infections and believe that they will surely recover.
