I was wondering if vaginitis and UTI's could have an impact on my period?

Question

Hello, I had vaginitis and a urinary tract infection in the last month and now I have my period, but it is not very heavy as usual. Okay, I'll do it! And since I have some bleeding, but very light, I was wondering when would be the best time to take a pregnancy test?

Hello, There is not necessarily a cause for this change in your period this month, nor is there anything to worry about if it is not accompanied by other symptoms. Stress or the use of certain medications could explain it. However, if the bleeding is much less abundant and of shorter duration than usual, a pregnancy test could be done as a precaution. I hope that I have answered your question correctly, Pierre-Luc Tremblay, pharmacist The best time to do this will be on the expected date of the next period with the first morning urine (in other words, on the first day of the delay if there is one). Do not hesitate to ask if you have any other questions, Pierre-Luc Tremblay, pharmacist
