My doctor told me to use clotrimazole ip cream for one month. Now I think my periods are going to come. Should I stop using the clotrimazole ip cream during period and continue using it after my periods? Will stopping the application of the cream for a few days and then continuing the treatment affect the vaginal yeast infection treatment? Please reply doctors!

Hello, during menses anyhow you should stop all intravaginal applications as they will not work much. Just use alkaline vaginal wash regularly during menses to maintain menstrual hygiene.
