You do not necessarily need to douche the next day after inserting the medicine at night, but you can wash the vulva if there is too much drug residue.
When women suffer from gynecological inflammatory diseases, such as vaginitis, cervicitis, etc., they need to be treated by intravaginal plugging. Generally, suppositories used intravaginally are self-dissolving, and after the shell of the drug is dissolved, the drug inside the shell will diffuse into the vagina and play a therapeutic role.
If the pessary is inserted into the vagina at night, it is possible that the drug residue will be discharged the next day, at which time the vulva can be washed to remove the drug residue. However, there is still drug residue in the vagina, still continue to play a role in the effectiveness of the drug, if the vagina will be rinsed out of the drug, may make the therapeutic effect weakened, so there is no need to douche the vagina.
However, it should be noted that if the patient’s inflammation is more serious, it is recommended to go to the hospital on the second day for vaginal douching, and not to operate on their own.
