Vaginal infection medication is very thick, can it be wiped with warm water?

Patient's question:

I have vaginitis. I don't have the medication to clean my vagina anymore. Can I use warm water to clean it, or should I buy new medication? Are these conditions serious?

Doctor's answer:

Local medication treatment usually lasts for about a week per course. If you have been using medication for a week, it is recommended that you temporarily stop taking it and wait until after your next menstrual period to start local medication treatment again. This is to avoid causing secondary infection. Patients facing the distress of vaginitis should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If vaginitis does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly reassess and adjust the treatment plan.
