What should I do if I have bleeding after taking medication for vaginitis?

Patient's question:

Yesterday, after a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as candidal vulvovaginitis. I was prescribed Kexiangshu Wash and other medications. Three hours after using Kexiangshu, I noticed very thin blood when I went to the toilet. The blood wasn't very red. Today, there is still a small amount of blood, but not much. Is this normal? What should I do if I experience bleeding after taking medication for vaginitis?

Doctor's answer:

The reasons for skin peeling after taking medication for vaginal candidiasis:
1. The medication was taken during the ovulation period, which can cause ovulation bleeding.
2. It is also necessary to consider vaginal bleeding caused by drug allergies.
Recommendation: It is best to go to a formal hospital for a gynecological examination to further clarify and confirm the diagnosis.
Additionally, after developing vaginal inflammation, the tissue becomes more fragile, making it easy to peel. This may be due to medication-induced damage to the vaginal wall or drug irritation. If the bleeding is minimal, treatment can continue. If the bleeding is significant, the medication should be stopped immediately, and a follow-up examination should be conducted to confirm the diagnosis.
Note: Treatment should be administered according to the prescribed course. After symptoms disappear, a follow-up examination of vaginal discharge is required within three months after menstruation ends to ensure it is negative, indicating successful treatment. It is recommended that both partners be treated, and hygiene should be maintained.
