Introduction
Vaginal medication is primarily administered by inserting the drug into the vagina using a finger. The patient should assume a squatting position, put on sterile gloves, and gently insert the medicated suppository deep into the vagina with the index finger. Generally, after 8–12 hours, the medication will completely dissolve, allowing it to work more effectively. Usually, the residual medicine may be expelled from the body the next day along with vaginal discharge during physical activity.
Vaginal medication administration mainly involves using fingers to insert the medicine into the vagina. The specific steps are as follows:
1. The patient should first assume a squatting position, wash hands and external genitalia with water, then dry them thoroughly to keep the skin dry.
2. Put on sterile gloves and use either the left or right index finger to gently insert the vaginal suppository deep into the vagina.
3. It is best to administer the medication before bedtime at night. Typically, after 8–12 hours, the medication will completely dissolve and work more effectively. Residual medication may be expelled from the body together with vaginal secretions the following day during normal activities.
It is recommended to seek treatment at a正规 medical institution and perform the procedure under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.
