What is the reason for external vaginal bleeding after medication and cleaning due to candidiasis?

Patient's question:

Yesterday, on the first day of medication for candidal vulvovaginitis, I applied Fuyinping to the external genitalia and took three tablets of Fuke. Today, there was blood mixed with white discharge, not my period, and it's earlier than usual. Is it normal to still be able to focus on medication?

Doctor's answer:

Did you clean inside the vagina? Sometimes there can be inflammation. It may cause a little bit of bleeding. Then, when applying medication, there might be some minor skin irritation. First, wait and see for a few days. If the skin irritation is still significant tomorrow, you may need to change your approach. If the skin irritation is still significant tomorrow, avoid cleaning inside the vagina. When applying medication, be gentle and don’t move your hands inside.
In addition to timely treatment for vaginal inflammation, patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as eating a balanced diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should be mindful of choosing a professional hospital for diagnosis to achieve better treatment outcomes.
