Patient's question:
Six days ago, I started taking medication for bacterial vaginosis, which was diagnosed two weeks ago. Now I want to go for a follow-up check-up, but my period has started. Can I still go for the check-up during my period?Doctor's answer:
If you have been taking medication for vaginal inflammation for several days and now have your menstrual period, it is best not to insert medication vaginally and can take oral medication instead. If you need to return for a follow-up examination, you should wait until your period has ended before going. Currently, with broken skin in the vagina, it is difficult to diagnose, so it is recommended to wait and see for a few more days. For severe cases of vaginal inflammation, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Avoid using medication blindly, as this may worsen the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only. It is hoped that the above answer can assist you. Thank you.
