What to do if you have vaginal candidal infection during menstruation

Fungi can survive peacefully in the human body, but once the body's immunity is reduced, such as during the menstrual period, they will take the opportunity to rebel and multiply vigorously, causing the originally "peaceful" private parts to become itchy, burning, and have sticky secretions that are watery or dreg-like. Sometimes it can also cause delayed menstruation, short menstrual cycles, and discoloration during menstruation.

How to treat vaginal candidal infection during menstruation?

Normally, once candidal vaginitis occurs, we can use drugs such as Daktarin suppositories to treat it. However, during the extremely sensitive menstrual period, it is best not to use vaginal suppositories to avoid bringing vaginal bacteria to organs such as the pelvis. At this time, you can use natural soda water to clean the vulva. The method is: use 2% to 5% soda and water to rinse the vagina, 1 to 2 times a day. After cleaning, wipe the private parts and keep the vulva dry. Baking soda can change the pH value of the vagina and inhibit the growth and reproduction of fungi.

In addition to cleaning the vulva, there are many details to pay attention to:

1. Change tight pants

In addition to maintaining a sense of comfort in underwear, it is best to choose loose and breathable jeans as outerwear. Tight jeans, slimming polyester pants, etc. should be avoided as much as possible to give the private parts enough breathing space.

2. Avoid spicy food and strong stimulating ingredients

Such as seafood, chili peppers, etc., these foods can stimulate blood circulation, increase menstrual volume, and indirectly provide conditions for bacterial growth. Women who like to eat snacks should also avoid desserts, because desserts can easily increase the blood sugar level in the female vagina, destroy the acidity and alkalinity of the female vagina, cause excessive growth of fungi, and make the menstrual period more uncomfortable.

3. Underwear and cotton towels must be cleaned separately

After washing, the underwear should be put into boiling water for about 10 minutes, and then put in the sun to dry. Never put it in the bathroom to dry. In addition, avoid using public toilets and public towels.

4. After defecation, toilet paper should be wiped from the urethra to the anus.

After defecation, toilet paper should be wiped from the urethra opening to the anus, or to both sides of the anus, rather than from the anus to the urethra opening. Otherwise, it is very easy to bring the fungi at the anus into the vagina, causing fungal vaginitis.
