Lorraine.  <response>: 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 dont 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.
