Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My period is delayed. Recently, I developed a yeast infection right before my period. I also had unprotected sex a few days back. Could my period be delayed due to a yeast infection?
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your query.
Yeast infection can not cause a delay in menses. And since you had unprotected sexual intercourse and also expecting your first menses, I suggest you do a pregnancy test. I suggest you follow the instructions mentioned below.
1. Use Gyno-Daktarin (antifungal) capsule for vaginal insertion.
2. Take a capsule of Co-Amoxiclav (Amoxicillin/Clavulanic acid) twice daily.
3. Take a tablet of Ketoconazole (antifungal) twice daily.
Kindly consult a specialist, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent.
Hope it helps.
Thanks and regards.
