A member asked:

Do i still take the medicine for the yeast onfection if i have my menstruation?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes!: Yes. Menstruation will not clear the infection, but the medication will. Your period will not change the way the medication works.

Depends: The oral medicine is okay to take, but any vaginal creams are better to wait until the cycle is over.
