Q&A: Does a yeast infection caused a missed period?
Question by proud mommy of twins: Does a yeast infection caused a missed period?
I have had a yeast infection before. But now Im itching again down there and my period hasn’t shown though I already went through pms last week. Two questions:
1- can a yeast infection be the cause of my missed period?
2-Can the internal vaginal procedures cause a Yeast infection? I went through a pelvic ultrasound and a HSG within two weeks of eachother about three weeks ago.

Yes, a yeast infection can be related to a late period, but it’s not necessarily the cause. (It could be hormone changes that cause the yeast infection AND the late period.) Before treating the yeast infection, take a pregnancy test, just in case! If you are pregnant, it would be best to discuss with a doctor before using anything over the counter — some types of yeast infection medicine explicitly say not for use while pregnant, but you won’t know that until you read the fine print inside after purchase!

1-No it can’t.
3-Alot of things can cause a yeast infection, things as simple as pills like Tylenol. Also, leaving on a wet bathing suit, SOMETHING YOU EAT, and more. I wouldn’t assume it’s just that.
I dont think a yeast infection can cause a missed period. But many things can cause a yeast infection, heat, medication, anything really. But to be safe if you dont have your period soon you should contact your doctor. Because as females we can never be too safe with our bodies.
do u know that yeast is a normal flora in a womans vagina? yeast and other micro organisms in ur vagina are equal in numbers but when the yeast are increasing in number and the other micro organism are decreasing in number then the yeast infection takes place.. thats when a cheesy like substance comes out from the vagina..
I am not positive but if i am not mistaken a yeast infection can later a period. If your expecting your period to come. and its a week or so more late. Thats what it usually does to me
