A member asked:
Can i have a yeast infection while on my period? i had some irritation and itching 1-2days b4 i started my period.

Yes: You can have a yeast infection while you are on a period. Most of them start premenstrually and then if not treated may cause symptoms like itching. Not all yeast in the vagina causes an infection or symptoms. Many women have yeast in their vagina and have no symptoms at all.
