How should vaginal infections be treated with medication?

Patient's question:

I recently feel itchy and painful in my vagina. I had a thorough check-up at the hospital before and was told I have vaginitis, but it wasn't severe. Now it seems the condition has worsened. I plan to get some medication to treat it. Coincidentally, it's my menstrual period these days, and I bought a liquid wash. I want to ask if vaginitis during menstruation can be treated with medication?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginal patients should never use medication on their own during their period. When treating vaginal during menstruation, it is important to note that vaginal douching should not be used. It is best to use oral antibiotics under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. This is to prevent unnecessary complications caused by vaginal douching. Additionally, during the treatment period, the patient's diet and care are also very important. Patients must pay close attention to their diet and eat more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm.
