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 sanitory pads & cleaning with clean water is a must.
- The infection is completely treated by treating both sex partners together.
Thanks.
