Put several drops of tea tree oil on a tampon. Your infection should be gone after 2 or three tampon changes. Treatment can occur even when you are not having your period. If you are not on your period, change the tampon 2-3 times per day, adding tea tree oil each time. Works like a charm.
Possible causes of yeast infections:
- when you have a bowel movement, you have to wipe front to back; never back to front
- excessive yeast consumption from pastries, breads, beer
- excessive sugar consumption
- tight clothes that don't breathe
- pantie liners that don't breathe
- antibiotics
- poor genital hygiene
- processed food consumption instead of whole foods

Many women experience dryness during the period just before, during, and after their menstrual cycle. This can cause itching that is not associated with yeast, and is only due to the reduction of vaginal lubrication. Use some type of vaginal lube during this time to help.

Your cycle is your body's "cleansing period" and it will help rid the yeast infection. I would discontinue the last treatment, because you should'nt do a treatment while youa re on your period. I would stay away from the tampons this time and use pads and panytliners.

It's quite possible that something you eat, or bathe with is changing the pH balance in your vagina, thus allowing yeast bacteria to grow and multiply.
You need to speak to your ob/gyn to help figure out what type of changes you need to make in your hygiene routine.

you can treat it with the over the counter meds and you can use it while you are bleeding. Read the box and it tells you exactly what you need to do

you can treat it just like you would any other timeo of the month. It happens because of the change in our hormones and happens to alot of women. It is normal
