Can you continue to treat candidal vaginitis during your period?

Patient's question:

Patient gender:
Female
Patient age:
26
Duration of current illness and persistence: 3 days
Medical history: None

Doctor's answer:

If oral medication is used alone, treatment can now be initiated. However, if vaginal suppositories are used, or if certain gynecological examination measures need to be combined during treatment, it is necessary to wait until after the menstrual period before starting treatment.
The occurrence of vaginitis not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo routine examinations in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay close attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
