Is it normal for fingers to have blood when medication is inserted into the vagina for a vaginitis patient?

Patient's question:

Is it normal for there to be blood on your fingers after inserting medication for vaginitis? Can you explain the reason? Is it necessary to stop medication during menstruation? I have been rubbing the medication and inserting metronidazole suppositories. Does vaginitis cause delays in menstruation? Please help the professionals clarify this. Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

There is a recurrence of bleeding after local medication insertion for vaginitis, which may be due to vaginal mucosal damage during medication insertion, leading to this phenomenon again. During the menstrual period, medication insertion is not necessary. Inflammation can cause menstrual irregularities. Timely treatment for inflammation will improve the condition. Maintain local cleanliness, dryness, and hygiene, avoid spicy, irritating, and greasy foods, and refrain from smoking and alcohol. Additionally, during the treatment of vaginitis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also important. Patients must digest vitamins, prevent diarrhea, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
