Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Usually thrush occur in the dirty condition, diabetes, HIV and other immunocomprmise condition.

It is not heard that such infection occurs with the periods.

But if you have doubt than you can take the smear done at the time of period. If it states that you have infection with yeast than you can take the treatment.

At that time treatment with fluconazole are advised. You can take it 150 mg once a week under doctors guidance.

You can also put clotrimazole vaginal pessary. This will give local effect to yeast.

Cleanliness and hygiene is also important. This can equally play good role in treatment.

Avoid sex till you are cured. Otherwise the infection will maintain in between the two people.

Please maintian good glycemic control.

Change the sanitary pad as scheduled daily.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
