How long after an abortion can vaginal medication be used?

Patient's question:

Since getting pregnant, I have been very careful, but for some reason, at four months of pregnancy during a thorough check-up, it was discovered that the fetus had no heartbeat, so I had to have an abortion. But soon after the abortion, the external genital area became increasingly itchy. How long after an abortion can I use medication vaginally?

Doctor's answer:

The baby has already started to take shape before it is three months old, so it is not possible to use methods for miscarriage. Instead, induction abortion must be used. Induction abortion causes much greater harm than miscarriage, so it is also very easy to lead to gynecological diseases after the procedure. If there are recurrent symptoms of vulvar itching, you can first use a cleaning solution to wipe it. After half a month post-abortion, you can then consider medication. It is essential to follow the doctor's advice to avoid unnecessary infections.
