Introduction
Jie'er Yin has the effects of clearing heat, drying dampness, killing parasites, and relieving itching. If you experience itching of the external genitalia or vagina during menstruation, you may use 10 mL of Jie'er Yin diluted with warm water to a total volume of 100 mL, shake well, and wash the external genital area. However, do not perform vaginal douching during menstruation to avoid potential infection. If vaginal itching occurs, wait until after your menstrual period to use an irrigator for vaginal rinsing.
It is acceptable to use Jie Er Yin to clean the external genital area if itching occurs during menstruation, but the vaginal cavity should not be rinsed. The inside of the vagina may only be cleaned after menstruation has completely ended. Proper menstrual hygiene must be observed, and sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited during this time. Specific details are as follows:

Jie Er Yin can help relieve itching caused by inflammation, but prolonged or frequent use is not recommended. It should not be used routinely in the absence of inflammatory symptoms; washing the external genitalia with warm water is sufficient. When inflammation is present, medication should be used under a doctor's guidance.
It is recommended to use medications properly under medical supervision, maintain good menstrual hygiene, and avoid sexual intercourse during treatment for inflammation.
