Question 1

is it possible for vaginitis to affect periods?

Accepted Answer

Opposite is true: Having a vaginal infection should not change your period. Having vaginal bleeding can worsen a vaginal infection though. Bacterial vaginisis for example is more noticeable when blood is present. The fishy odor will be more profound.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

BV: typically, one would not blame a late period on BV.  First thing to do is check a pregnancy test.

Question 3

how to cure or prevent repeated vaginitis that occurs after menstrual period?

Accepted Answer

: You need a good exam and vaginal tests . In the meantime keep the area clean and try changing the type or brand of your sanitary napkin

Question 4

without being sexually active, how can one have vaginitis? and does it occur days after period ends? natural cures available? possible risks bc of it?

Accepted Answer

Many causes: Vaginal discharge requires an examination to determine the cause and treatment. Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause and often has a vaginal odor. Vaginal itching can be a sign of a yeast infection.  Neither of these are  sexual transmitted infections.  Yeast creams are over the counter and Bacterial vaginosis treated with antibiotics

Question 5

i had vaginitis, i got medicine for it. my depakote causes it. i only have it when i got my period. i  notice a small odor+things floating in urine?

Accepted Answer

I am not sure: About your Depakote deduction.  Vaginitis is caused by bacteria from the colon colonizing the vagina.  Blood happens to help these bacteria along.  Watch the thong, it's like a wick going back to front.  Use of metronizadole vaginal after menses should help the odor by killing the bacteria.  Limiting flow with the pill may help.

Question 6

why does my period is late? i was diagnosed with acute vaginitis, i received medication (femisan creme) and i just have white discharge but not my period.  im not irregular

Accepted Answer

If regular cycles,: and now a late period, check a pregnancy test. If negative, an irregular ovulation is the most likely reason, if not on birth control pills. If persistent,  for more cycles, testing with your doctor is a good step.

Question 7

is it possible for a male to carry trichomonisis vaginitis for a long period of time without it being detected even with periodic std tests?

Accepted Answer

yes.: It is possible. Trich is a common std that usually presents with symptoms, but not necessarily. If your partner says or thinks they have trich, both of you should be tested.

Question 8

do vaginal infections cause you to miss a period? isn't smelly or itchy or painful either. can infections cause a missed period?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: If anything an infection might make you have spotting between periods but is unlikely to cause you to miss a cycle.

Question 9

i am getting constant vaginal infections and bladder infections for the last 6 months. my periods are normal but the infections continue? should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Resolution needed: Your combination of vaginal and bladder infections need to be resolved as to causation, thorough investigation with history/physical and testing. A Urologist may be helpful for the chronic UTI's as a referred MD. Chronic UTI's can lead to serious renal infection. The Urologist will look for urinary system obstructive causes.

Question 10

i'm 25 and i always suffer from vaginal infections right after my period, what should i do to get rid of it? i cannot tolerate it.

Accepted Answer

Vag infections: It would be nice to know what type of infection you're suffering from. Is it yeast or bacterial vaginosis? You need to know that because treatment will depend on the type of infection you're struggling with. It may be that birth control pills may help if there's a hormonal component. Also, there vaginal probiotic supplements that can be tried, but you will need to know what infection is responsibl.
