Will candidal vaginitis affect menstruation?

Clinically, candidal vaginitis refers to vulvovaginal Candida infection. Vulvovaginal Candida infection generally does not affect menstruation.

The cause of vulvovaginal candidiasis is related to the infection of Candida. After infection, Candida will parasitize in different locations such as the vagina, mouth, intestines, and infect each other. Some patients will spread through sexual contact, and a few patients will spread indirectly through contact with contaminated clothing. After the disease occurs, the patient will experience vulvar itching, accompanied by symptoms such as sexual intercourse pain and urination pain. This disease is an inflammatory infectious disease and generally does not delay menstruation. Delayed menstruation is a disease caused by changes in estrogen secreted by nerves and ovaries in the body, leading to endocrine abnormalities in the body. It is usually not related to vulvovaginal candidiasis, so vulvovaginal candidiasis generally does not affect menstruation.

Patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis can be treated with topical miconazole nitrate vaginal soft capsules, nystatin vaginal suppositories, nystatin vaginal effervescent tablets, etc. under the guidance of a doctor. Some patients can also take oral medications such as fluconazole capsules, itraconazole capsules, nystatin tablets, etc. under the advice of a doctor. In daily life, you should also pay more attention to personal hygiene, take medications on time and in the right amount, and visit the hospital regularly.
