Can I take medication for vaginitis before an abortion?

Patient's question:

I have an abortion tomorrow. Can the doctor prescribe vaginitis medicine for me to use tonight?

Doctor's answer:

Normal women, the vagina has a natural protective function against the penetration of pathogens due to the characteristics of post-mortem autopsies. This includes the closure of the vaginal orifice, the close proximity of the anterior and posterior vaginal walls, the fibrosis of vaginal epithelial cells under the influence of estrogen, the keratinization of epidermal cells, and the maintenance of a constant pH of 4-5, which inhibits the adaptation of alkaline-recovering pathogens such as anaerobic bacteria. When the natural protective function of the vagina is compromised, pathogens are more easily penetrated, leading to recurrent vaginal inflammation. It can be used to effectively kill bacteria, reduce swelling, relieve pain, and is less prone to recurrence.
