I want to understand: why wouldnt menstrual blood kill off the yeast(candidas glabrata) since the blood ph level is unfavourable for the yeast? because after menstruation, some yeast infection persist for some women?

You have found inaccurate information or misunderstood something you might have been told or seen online. Acid-base balance (pH) has minimal effect on Candida or other vaginal bacteria and fungi.
