Can women with vaginitis still engage in activities during their menstrual period?

Patient's question:

I have vaginitis, and I have been prescribed liquid for washing and a gel to insert. Can I still use them specifically during my menstrual period?

Doctor's answer:

If you have vaginitis, it is strictly forbidden to use liquid soaps and vaginal suppositories during your period. You should wait until your period ends before using them. I suggest you pay attention to personal hygiene and change your underwear and clothes frequently. Do not use vaginal suppositories during your period, as it can easily lead to retrograde intrauterine infection. Vaginitis poses significant harm to patients, so once you notice your symptoms, you should seek medical attention promptly.
