Hi There, I am 44years of age, female and two to three days before i come on my period, i get thrush ( very bad iching) but no smell or ect. When  i am on, the thrush starts to go away slowly and when finished my period, the thrush is gone. This happened the last 4 months, I dont know what is going on, Please help me. Thankyou.  Lorraine.
Hi, I understand your concern. Vaginal itching at menses can be due to- - Allergy to Sanitary products (like scented pads/ material of the pads) - Bacterial infection following hormonal changes during menses- But this gives a fishy smell. & you don't have it.  - Fungal infection. Fungus that is in dormant stage in your body. Gets good medium for growth (blood) during menses. & starts flourishing during menses & stops growing with stoppage of menses.  You need to use Fluconazole vaginal pessaries during menses to prevent it. Oral Fluconazole can be taken in single dose for a prolonged complaint.  - A strict genital hygiene with frequent change of sanitary pads & cleaning with clean water is a must.  - The infection is completely treated by treating both sex partners together.  Thanks.  Thanks.
