Hello,
Thanks for writing to us. I have gone through your query and understood the concern. The fact that you have already tested for infections and ruled them out excludes infection as the cause. The next likely cause is the lack of ventilation since you develop these symptoms while you are on your menstrual period only. Also, you should test for urinary tract infections which are likely to rise during a period. Do not use perfumed or synthetic undergarments or sanitary napkins; instead, go for cotton ware. Use lukewarm water with a mild antiseptic lotion to clean the genital region. Do not use tight underwear. If there is no relief, see your health care provider for further management. Take care.
