What Causes Yeast Infection And Swollen Lymph Nodes During Menstruation?

Hi, I m trying to research symptoms my 24 year old daughter is having. She has swollen lymph nodes on the left side of her body, extreme fatigue, achy feeling. Her back hurts in the place of her spleen. These episodes have come and gone over the past year or longer. She had blood work done and a CT scan. Nothing abnormal was found. She had mono over a year ago. 2 years ago she had an accident and almost cut the tip of her finger off while working on a farm. She very easily gets yeast infections during menstruation. She is a vegetarian but says she is careful about getting all nutrients.

Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion your daughter should be tested for HIV and other immunocomprmise disease.

Yeast infection only occurs in immunity hampered individuals. I suspect same for your children.

If its HIV it must be in advance stage and needs to taken care with HIV medicines.

Please maintain the hygiene it will clear up half of your infection.

Please do antifungal sensitivity and take the medication according to report. Taking the complete medication can help you further.


I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
