I have an appointment with the doctor regarding a vaginal infection but I currently have my period. Does that change anything?

Having your period should not change anything about your appointment with the doctor regarding a vaginal infection. Depending on your symptoms, the doctor may not need to perform a vaginal examination. If there is any doubt, a sample may be taken, but having your period should not prevent this from happening. Alternatively, it may make sense to wait until after your period for the sample to be collected.
