Patients with cervicitis should stop taking vaginal medication during menstruation

After excluding malignant lesions and controlling specific or non-specific infections, cervicitis is mainly treated locally, so that the columnar epithelium on the eroded surface necrotizes and falls off, and is covered by new squamous epithelium. The most commonly used treatment for cervicitis is local vaginal lavage and local medication. If the patient has menstruation during the treatment period of cervicitis, medication should be stopped. Sexual intercourse is prohibited, otherwise it will cause the new wound surface of the cervix to be worn and bleed, affecting the effect of treatment.

Vaginal douching during menstruation in patients with cervicitis can easily cause retrograde infection, leading to pelvic inflammatory disease and other diseases. It can also cause discomfort such as excessive vaginal discharge and distension of the waist and abdomen. It can also cause embarrassment and inconvenience to patients due to itching and odor, adding a lot of trouble to patients' work and family life. It can also cause bacteria to ascend and infect the uterine cavity, causing endometritis, fallopian tube inflammation, fallopian tube adhesions, etc., leading to female infertility. Therefore, patients with cervicitis should stop taking vaginal medication during menstruation.

Patients with cervicitis can take oral medication during menstruation. This is because the blood circulation in the pelvic cavity during menstruation is greater than usual, which can bring more drugs to the inflamed area. In addition, menstrual blood also contains drugs, which can play an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory role when passing through the uterine cavity and vagina. Patients with cervicitis should pay attention to maintaining genital hygiene during menstruation.
