Yeast or...: Some women have the misfortune of getting a yeast infection around each period. The only way to know for sure that is the cause is to see your Gyn while you are having symptoms several months in a row. You may need a longer duration treatment for yeast. There are other causes, so its best to have it checked. Best wishes!
