Will Thrush Interfere With The Regular Menstrual Cycle?
Hi, I was wondering if thrush interferes with the menstrual cycle? My period is over a week late and I have what I am pretty sure is thrush for the first time. I ve taken 3 pregnancy tests - all negative, and the last time I had sex was about 6 weeks ago so I really don t think it s that

Hello,
You have history of having thrush infection. Presently you are having delayed period. You have taken 3 pregnancy tests and they show negative report. Yeast infections are not the cause of irregular menstrual cycles, they do not cause delayed periods. Delayed periods may be due to hormonal changes, ectopic pregnancy, anemia, poor generalized heath condition, PCOD, cysts, etc.
You are suggested to get clinically examined by an OBGYN, get per vaginal examination done, get USG (uterus and fallopian tube) done to detect or rule out ectopic pregnancy. During regular periods the female mucous genitals create a favorable environment for the onset of fungal disease. The body's hormonal balance is disturbed during menses and may trigger the development of the fungus. Take care of your hygiene. You will be accordingly treated. Stay away from stress and addictions if any.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
