Does candidiasis affect menstruation?

Patient's question:

My candidiasis has been going on for a long time. During the candidiasis period, I should have had my period, but it didn't come after a long time. I bought test strips and took a test, but it didn't come back positive. However, why isn't my period coming? Does having candidiasis affect the menstrual cycle?

Doctor's answer:

If there is sexual activity, the first thing to consider is the possibility of pregnancy. If your period hasn't arrived when it should, and it's been less than 7-10 days, you should consider pregnancy. It is recommended to visit the hospital 7 days after intercourse to undergo a blood hCG test. A blood hCG test is the most accurate. For patients with vaginitis, in addition to symptomatic treatment, they should also pay attention to maintaining a proper diet in daily life to digest and absorb nutrients.
