Re: YEASTINFECTION: Period during Yeast Infection

I had already started treatment for the yeast infection, and then got my
period a couple of days later. Even though I'm treating it with
terconazole cream, my period seems to aggravate the itching. Does this
make sense? I've heard that menstrual blood can be a ripe environment
for yeast.
