A member asked:

What could cause a sore / itchy vulva before period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Casey Younkin answered

Yeast infection. : This is common, the yeast grows because of the bleeding. Your doctor can prescribe something for it. Using a disposable vinegar & water douche before the itching starts may help.
