Does vaginal inflammation affect menstruation?

Vaginitis generally does not affect menstruation, because menstruation is mainly affected by hormone levels in the body, and vaginal inflammation will not cause hormone levels in the body to become disordered. However, if vaginal inflammation is not treated in time, it may affect the menstrual cycle due to inflammatory reactions and imbalanced hormone levels.

1. Does not affect menstruation: Vaginitis is usually caused by poor immunity, improper sexual life, poor hygiene, etc. Symptoms include itchy skin, odor, skin infection, etc., but it usually does not affect menstruation. The main reason is that menstruation is affected by the hormone level secreted by the ovaries, and vaginal inflammation will not interfere with the endocrine function of the ovaries. Vaginitis usually does not affect the menstrual cycle.

2. Impact on menstruation: If vaginal inflammation lasts for a long time, the inflammatory response caused may disrupt normal physiological processes, including the menstrual cycle. Inflammation may cause changes in vaginal secretions, which may affect the normal shedding and discharge of the endometrium. Certain types of vaginal inflammation may cause hormonal imbalances, including changes in estrogen and progesterone levels. These hormonal imbalances may affect the normal regulation of the menstrual cycle.

If vaginal inflammation persists, it is recommended to seek medical attention and receive timely treatment.
