Will your yeast infection go away when you have your period? The simple answer to this is no, and waiting to see if it will happen will only make things worse for you.
What is a yeast infection
A yeast infection is caused by fungus feeding on the inside of your vagina. A period is in no way anti fungal so it will not cure an infection. Your symptoms may lessen during your period because of the chemical change on the inside of your vagina during this time.
Your hormones
Leading up to your period, and during your period your hormones are all over the place, and this can actually cause a yeast infection. Some women get yeast infections at the time they get their period because of their hormones fluctuating.
You need to cure your infection quickly
If you’re suffering from a yeast infection you should treat it as soon as possible. You have a fungus eating the skin cells on the inside of your vagina and the more the fungus feeds the deeper it will get into your skin.
If you’ve tried already
If you’ve attempted to cure your infection already without success you must make sure you have a yeast infection and not another vaginal infection. many women self diagnose themselves and get the diagnosis wrong. This means that the treatment they used would never work, and the infection they do have just gets worse.
An alternative treatment you can try is a natural one that cures your infection from the root cause. It strengthens all of your body’s natural defenses so you won’t suffer from an infection again.
