Is it necessary to wait for the menstrual period to end for the treatment of vaginitis and cervical inflammation?

Patient's question:

Vaginitis and cervicitis, medication for three days, had a period, the doctor said to wait until the blood stops before treating the inflammation. Is this method correct? During this period, if there is itching in the vagina or lower back pain, should I just endure it and wait until the blood stops before treatment?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, when you have your period, you need to stop the treatment. Hello, since you are having your period, these treatments need to be stopped because if you continue with physical treatment while having your period, it may cause downward transmission. If it's only itchy, you can apply some ointment to the external genitalia. Other treatments can be administered through intravenous infusion, and physical treatment can be carried out after your period ends.
Additionally, during the treatment for vaginitis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must digest vitamins, prevent stomach problems, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
