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!
