Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

No, you do not have yeast infection only for one day with every period. The symptom is more consistent with pre or perimenstrual symptom and symptom commonly resolves or subsides when period starts. This symptom could or could not be a side effect of contraceptive pill.
