Introduction
On the second day, it is generally not necessary to wash after using Xiao Mi Shuan (Xiaomishuan), but if the medication leaks onto the external genitalia, cleaning is needed; however, douching or vaginal irrigation is unnecessary. Xiao Mi Shuan is a traditional Chinese medicine used to treat gynecological conditions in women. It has functions of clearing heat and detoxifying, drying dampness, killing parasites, removing necrotic tissue, and promoting tissue regeneration. It is primarily used to treat leukorrhea caused by downward infiltration of damp-heat, which corresponds to various types of vaginitis in Western medicine.

Generally, there is no need to wash after using Xioami suppositories on the second day. However, if the medication leaks onto the external genitalia, cleaning is necessary, but vaginal douching is not required. The detailed explanation is as follows:

Xiaomi suppositories are a traditional Chinese medicine used to treat gynecological conditions in women. They have functions of clearing heat and detoxifying, drying dampness, killing parasites, removing necrotic tissue, and promoting tissue regeneration. They are primarily used to treat leukorrhea caused by downward infiltration of damp-heat, which corresponds to various types of vaginitis in Western medicine. Xiaomi suppositories are administered vaginally; please follow your doctor's instructions for specific usage. After administration, if the medication is expelled or absorbed by the next day, there is no need to douche the vagina, but the external genital area should be cleaned. If there is significant residual medication or increased vaginal discharge the following day, a professional vaginal irrigator may be used for gentle rinsing to avoid damaging the vaginal tissues or worsening inflammation.

Sexual intercourse should be avoided during treatment. Clean the external genital area daily, change underwear and sanitary pads frequently, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy, stimulating, raw, or cold foods. Drink plenty of water, engage in moderate physical exercise, and strengthen your immune system.
