Hi XXXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Stye or hordeolum is an infection that could be recurrent due to diabetes, recurrent touching of eye, poor hygiene, immunoglobulin M (IgM) deficiency, dry eyes, refractive errors of the eye like near sightedness or farsightedness and chronic infection of eyelids. Warm compress, topical antibiotics and good personal hygiene usually prevents further infection.
In all probability the hormonal change during the cycle could be increasing the susceptibility to stye. I suggest that you get your blood sugar levels tested.
Further I suggest you consult an ophthalmologist and get your condition examined clinically.
I hope this helps.
Do write back in case of doubts.

Hi XXXXX,
Thanks for writing in with an update.
There are few other conditions (not involving eyes) which appear around the time of menstruation which are attributed to hormone levels. However, please get your eyes checked should your problem occur again.
I hope this helps.
Wishing you good health.
