Can drugs for Trichomonas vaginitis be used externally during menstruation?

Considering that drugs for Trichomonas vaginitis can be used externally during menstruation, it should mean that patients with Trichomonas vaginitis can use external drugs during menstruation. If the vulva is clean, patients with Trichomonas vaginitis can generally use external drugs during menstruation. If it is a vaginal drug, external drugs generally cannot be used.

1. Can be used:

Trichomonas vaginitis is mainly caused by infection with Trichomonas vaginalis, which can cause damage to the vaginal mucosa. Patients usually have symptoms such as vulvar itching and increased vaginal discharge. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can use drugs such as Sophora flavescens lotion, Phellodendron chinense lotion, and Goldenrod antibacterial lotion to clean the vulva and keep the local skin clean and dry, which is conducive to the recovery of the disease.

2. Do not use:

Vaginal administration is not recommended for patients during menstruation, such as metronidazole suppositories, metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets, tinidazole vaginal effervescent tablets, etc. This will cause the drug to flow out with menstrual blood before absorption, and the effect of treating the disease cannot be achieved. Oral drugs can be taken, such as metronidazole tablets, tinidazole tablets, clindamycin hydrochloride capsules, etc.

During the illness, patients should strengthen the care of the genital area and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods such as chili, mustard, and pepper, which are not conducive to the recovery of the disease and may also cause the disease.
