A member asked:

How come i always get yeast infection-like symptoms during my period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hormone plays part.: Due to increase level of hormones right before period it changes the ph in the vagina and glucose content of the cell that makes the enviornment more favorable for yeast cells to thrive. So you might be having mild yeast infection cyclically as a possibility.
