Why is do I get a yeast infection right before my period? Or why do I get one after my period? These are pretty broad topics, but generally it is all related to the fluctuation of the hormone estrogen that occurs during your menstrual cycle. Progesterone, since it causes your period to happen, can also lead to a yeast infection when the cells shed from the vaginal lining. • Estrogen causes a key thing to happen to cells in the vagina. This thing is the synthesis of a sugar called glycogen. Glycogen is important, but Candida can readily use this sugar as a food source. And, even if you have a small amount of yeast in your vagina, it can start to rapidly multiply when it finds an abundance of sugar. Most women find they get a bad yeast infection before their period and a possible cause of this is, of course, glycogen. Right before ovulation estrogen levels spike and get to the highest point of all in the menstrual cycle. This can be when yeast start to overgrow as there is a lot of sugar being made by vaginal cells. Then, during the luteal phase after ovulation, estrogen levels rise and stay fairly high right up until menses. During this time, Candida keep growing and feeding off the sugar. Then, you start to notice severe symptoms in the week before your period. If this is like what happens to you, your problem is quite possibly related to excess vaginal glycogen. • Vaginal pH can also play a role in why women get a yeast infection. Some women seem to get a yeast infection after their period. At this time estrogen is very low; and, low estrogen also causes the vagina to become more alkaline. So if this seems like what your problem is, your vaginal pH could be the key issue. Candida love an alkaline environment, and a healthy vagina is naturaly acidic. When the pH rises, Candida can seize this opportunity and start to wreck havoc on the female genitals. • Candida also contain an estrogen receptor that locks on and sucks up estrogen. They also contain a progesterone receptor that can suck up estrogen. So, if your period is late or is missed, it could possibly be due to an abundance of yeast in your gut and vagina. A case of a woman missing her period for an extensive period of time, with the likely cause being Candida, has been reported. • Candida Hub has a lot of information on yeast infections that seem to happen before, after, and during your period.
