I was tested positive for Chlamydia. I took 4 pills all at the same time right after eating but threw up 1 hour later. It’s been 5 days and my vagina is really irritated red and itchy. And have now started my period, which is thick and dark. Is this normal?

If you threw up 1 hour after taking your pills, it probably was due to their effect. When the antibiotics are absorbed by the gut, this can cause nausea and sometimes vomiting. Most likely the antibiotics were still effective at treating the chlamydia.

Many women will develop vaginal yeast infections after taking antibiotics. Yeast infections typically cause the vaginal area to become red, irritated and itchy. Add the chemical changes of your menstrual period, and that can lead to a lot of irritation.

You may want to try an over-the-counter yeast medication like Monistat or Clotrimazole. These are vaginal medications are okay to use during your period, just don’t wear a tampon during this cycle.

If your irritation does not resolve after your period or after using the yeast medication, consider scheduling an appointment for an infection check.
