Question
Hello doctor,
Last week I had a gynecological examination, the doctor concluded that I had a vaginal infection, white blood cells and positive bacteria. The doctor prescribed a gynecological pill with antibiotics for me to take, and a gynecological pill included 12 pills to the 4th pill when I got my period. The doctor asked me, should I put gynecological medicine during my period? Thank you!

Hello,
With the question "Should I put gynecological medicine during menstruation?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
During menstruation, blood and menstrual products will pass through the cervical opening. to go out. Placing the drug during this time will interfere with menstrual blood, which will increase the risk of infection. At the same time, the drug may be pushed out, reducing the effectiveness of the treatment. You should wait for your period to end and then order the gynecological pill.
If you still have questions about ordering gynecological medicine, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for examination and further advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
