What is the difference between a yeast infection and a bacterial infection?
One of the most common infections a woman will face during her menstrual cycle is a yeast infection. Yeast are not actually a type of bacteria, but they are microscopic organisms that live in the vagina. A yeast infection can cause symptoms similar to those of a bacterial infection, such as itching and burning, but these two types of infections have some significant differences.

Yeast infections can be an uncomfortable, frustrating and embarrassing experience. They’re also common. In fact, one out of four women has a yeast infection during her lifetime. Fortunately, there are several things that can help you prevent this problem in the future. These include:

You should also take natural supplements like probiotics or cranberry extract to help regulate the good bacteria in your gut that help keep yeast infections away.

Self doctoring tips
To prevent yeast infections during a period, it is important to wash your hands often and change your menstrual pad frequently. If you are experiencing symptoms of a yeast infection, you should see a doctor and talk to them about the best treatment plan for you. A yeast infection is caused by overgrowth of yeast on the vagina and it can lead to inflammation. The symptoms include a thick, white, sticky discharge that may cause itching.
Showing your doctor these symptoms could help you get an accurate diagnosis. Some doctors will use the microscope to look at the vaginal fluid under a light microscope. A sample from around the infected area can be put on slides and examined in the lab. If things don’t look right, you may need to see a specialist for more testing or a different treatment option.
Treatment and prevention methods
Yeast infections are common and can cause a variety of symptoms, including extreme vaginal itching, burning, pain, or discharge. They usually occur during the time of your menstrual cycle. There are several methods for treating and preventing yeast infections:
- Take an anti-fungal medication before intimacy
- Rinse with vinegar and water (can also be used as a douche)
- Get a prescription ointment like Monistat
Prevention Methods: Diet, soaking in salt water, vinegar spray, candida diets
I tried all of the methods for prevention before period and only using diet worked. Even though I ate low carb and drank lots of water, I still had a yeast infection. It was not worth it to use the vinegar spray because it caused such a searing pain that I couldn’t get through my shift at work.
