Should I start the treatment during my period or wait for them to end before starting?

It is recommended to begin the treatment for a yeast infection even if you are on your period. While your period may make it more difficult for the cream to stay in place, it will still be absorbed by the mucous membrane relatively quickly. If the cream treatment is not effective, you can consider taking an oral capsule, typically available over-the-counter. This single dose is usually sufficient to treat a yeast infection.
