Hi,thanks for using healthcare magic

Due to hormonal changes associated with menstruation, some women may experience vaginal infections with their periods.
The most common infection seen is yeast infections or candida infections.

You may want to consider visiting your doctor for an evaluation to confirm that this is the cause, this would require a swab.
Yeast infections are treated with vaginal creams or ovules which can be purchased over the counter or with oral medication such as diflucan.
Diflucan would require a prescription.

I hope this helps
