Introduction

Bao Fu Kang suppositories should not be used routinely when there is no medical condition. Blind use of the medication may disrupt the vaginal flora, disturb the natural acid-base balance of the vagina, and increase the risk of infections, such as bacterial vaginitis or trichomonal vaginitis. Under normal circumstances, regularly cleaning the external genital area with warm water or warm saline solution can help maintain local cleanliness and dryness.

Baofukang Suppositories should not be used routinely when there is no medical condition, as this may lead to side effects and affect health. Specific reasons are as follows:

Baofukang Suppositories are a traditional Chinese medicine primarily composed of zedoary oil and borneol. They generally have the effects of promoting qi circulation, removing blood stasis, promoting tissue regeneration, and relieving pain. These suppositories are commonly used to treat symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, yellow-colored discharge, and genital itching caused by damp-heat and blood stasis. They can also be used in Western medicine for treating vulvovaginal candidiasis. If the above indications apply, the medication may be used under a doctor's guidance. However, if there are no abnormal health conditions, using the medication blindly may disrupt the natural vaginal flora, disturb the vaginal pH balance, and increase the risk of infections such as bacterial vaginitis or trichomonal vaginitis.

In daily life, washing the external genital area regularly with warm water or warm saline solution can help maintain local cleanliness and dryness without negatively affecting health. If adverse reactions such as itching or swelling occur due to unauthorized use of the medication, prompt medical attention is necessary to avoid interfering with recovery.
