A member asked:
What causes the severe irritation in my vaginal and rectal area that begins about two weeks prior to my menstrual cycle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vaginal/Anal Irritat: The pre-ovulating phase of your cycle is a relatively "dry" phase and can lead to irritation. You could also have a recurrent yeast infection: http://www.Wikihow.Com/prevent-recurrent-yeast-infections. Try some of the suggested lubricant and dietary solutions in the article, but if that doesn't help, make an appointment with your gynecologist to better evaluate the underlying causation.
