Question
Hello doctor,
I just went to the doctor and discovered that I have a vaginal infection. However, I am having a late period, but symptoms such as breast pain are still present. So the doctor asked me if my period is late due to vaginitis? I thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Is the delay in menstruation due to vaginitis? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vagina that leads to discharge, itching and pain. It is usually caused by an imbalance of vaginal bacteria or an infection. Decreased estrogen levels after menopause and certain skin disorders can also cause vaginitis. The disease can also be caused by misunderstandings about personal hygiene in the vaginal area (using strong detergents, disinfectants, creating odors...), by infection through sexual intercourse. sex.
Delayed period (or missed period) is a manifestation of an irregular menstrual cycle in women, a phenomenon when menstruation has not yet appeared. Normally, if after 35 days from the date of menstruation, there is still no period, it is called delayed menstruation. On the other hand, when a woman misses at least three menstrual periods in a row, it is considered amenorrhea.
Causes of missed periods can be: Pregnancy, sudden weight gain, excessive weight loss, excessive exercise, stress, stress, side effects of drugs, gynecological diseases,...
First First, you should check to see if your period is late due to pregnancy or not. Then treat vaginitis. Ideally, you should visit an obstetrician-gynecologist for specific advice.
