A member asked:

How is thrush related to your period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. TED FEDER answered

PH (acidity) : Your ph or acid/base balance changes around your period. Just before your period your ph goes up (more basic, less acidic) causing a candida increase. Then after your period your ph goes down (more acidic) reducing candida.
