hi see the answer above.
what is a yeast-like infection prior to menstrating? . every month about 7-10 days before i start my period i get a yeast-like infection. if i try to use over-the-counter treatments the itching and discomfort increases. if i use an anti-itch ointment like vagisil it burns as if i have put rubbing alcohol on my vagina. usually within 2-3 days of starting my period the discomfort goes away. i've had sex maybe 3 times in a year and i have had the same partner for more than 6 years. i know he's not having sexual relations with others.
