Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for writing in.

It seems you haven't posted your complete query. You have reported an event, but failed to mention your concerns.

You were most probably suffering with fungal infection of vagina, thus your Gynaecologist prescribed you Candid vaginal cream & clotrimazole vaginal tablets.

I would be able to answer your query better, if you could mention the following details:
(1) Date of last menstrual period,
(2) Average Duration of menstrual cycle,
(3) Colour of bleeding,
(4) Is it light or heavy?
(5) Does it contain clots in it or not?
(6) Due date of menstrual period &
(7) Other associated symptoms.

Also specify what exactly you want to know?

Awaiting your response

With good wishes
