Yeast Infection Treatments

Natural Safe Cures For You

Is it common to have a yeast infection right before your period?

Posted by admin under yeast infection

I had a yeast infect for like a week and was treating it naturally. I started spotting about to start my period and the symptoms (I won’t mention them I’m sure you know what I’m talking about) stopped. Is it normal to get a yeast infection right before your period? I’ve never noticed it before but maybe some itching. I’m 22 if it matters.

Thanks in advance for your answers.
No sex or anything in a month or so.

No, I’ve never noticed a pattern of getting a yeast infection right before my period. I know having a period can make a yeast infection go away on its own as having your period changes your pH.

Signs of yeast infections:
White, cottage cheese-like discharge
Swelling and pain around the vulva
Intense itching

Signs of bacterial vaginosis:
A white, gray or yellowish vaginal discharge
A fishy odor that is strongest after sex or after washing with soap
Itching or burning
Slight redness and swelling of the vagina or vulva

    It could be the type of underwear you are wearing. Wearing thongs, tight jeans, and tight underwear close to your period could cause you to have a yeast infection. I had this happen for almost a whole year, I kept going to the doctor, they’d give me penicillan, I tried using over the counter stuff, home remedies. I found out on my own that it was the underwear and jeans thing. If it continues after that I would suggest seeing a doctor because it could be a sign for something more serious.
