A member asked:
For a few weeks i've had vaginal soreness, like it hurts to insert a tampon-im about to start my period. doc says mild infection, normal before mens?

Not normal: No infection is normal. Before your period you secrete more glucose and it is easier to get infections, even overgrowth of your own bacteria. If it is still sore call your doctor back. Pain is a sign that something is not right
