A member asked:

What happens if you start your period during the same time you are fighting a yeast infection?

Not much.: This is a pretty common occurrence since women are on their period for almost 25% of each month and yeast infections are very common. I would recommend continuing to treat the yeast infection as you normally would w Miconazole or terazole cream or Diflucan (fluconazole) pills.

Periods and Yeast: It is not unusual to get a yeast infection when you're having your periods. In that case, treating your yeast infection would be better to be done through an oral route (diflucan (fluconazole) tablet) rather than intravaginal cream since your period would prevent proper absorption of the medication. I suggest you see a doctor for eval and treatment if it's bothering you.
