What is the reason for not having a menstrual period after taking medication for vaginitis?

Patient's question:

I have candidiasis, and I used Baofu Gel. I finished one box, and it did provide some relief. When I went out yesterday after applying the medication, I noticed brown discharge on the tube. But I haven’t had my period today either, and I’m definitely close to getting it. Now there’s no brown discharge anymore. What’s going on?

Doctor's answer:

After medication insertion, brownish discharge is being secreted. This could be related to the possibility of an impending menstrual period, or it could be due to damage to the vaginal wall or cervix during medication insertion. Currently, the bleeding is minimal, so please do not worry. Temporary careful observation is recommended, with a focus on medication insertion, ensuring gentle movements. Once menstruation begins, medication insertion should be stopped. Medication treatment can be resumed 3 days after menstruation has ended.
Additionally, during the treatment of vaginal inflammation, timely treatment is crucial, but the patient's dietary habits and psychological state are equally important. It is essential for the patient to maintain a light diet and a consistently cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of vaginal inflammation.
