A member asked:

Can the burning/itching of bv or a yeast infection be intermittent?

Could be: Some amount of yeast as well as bacteria is normal in the vaginal area. As they both wax and wane, the yeast may get heavier and cause symptoms. See your dr. For treatment and hopeful erradication. Best wishes.
