Bacterial vaginosis also needs to be wiped during menstruation?

Patient's question:

On December 6, 2018, I was first diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis and used 9 boxes (three courses) of dextran vaginal pessary continuously, 3-5 times a day. I asked the doctor how to use it. Should I spray it directly towards the vaginal opening? Is it necessary to do it 3-5 times a day? The doctor didn't explain it clearly to me.
2. The doctor said that in my case, there is no need for a follow-up test after finishing this medication. Is that correct?
3. For women, is it only necessary to wipe the external genitalia when cleaning the reproductive organs? Is it necessary to spread the labia to clean the vaginal opening? Should cleaning also be done during menstruation?

Doctor's answer:

Wash the external genitalia, making sure to clean the labia and vaginal opening during the wash. Then insert Nifuratel into the vagina. During the treatment period, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. In daily life, use warm water to wash the external genitalia. Do not wash the external genitalia during menstruation, and avoid soaking in baths. Pay attention to preventing abdominal coldness. In addition to treating bacterial vaginosis, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a positive mood to enhance their physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
