Post Period Itch? What You Should Know About Yeast Infections and Odor
Your period can be frustrating on its own but for many women, it's what happens after that's most uncomfortable. If you find yourself itching, irritated, or noticing an odd odor following your cycle, you're not imagining things. According to a recent Verywell Health article yeast infections may pop up post-period, and here are some reasons why.
Why Yeast Infections Love Your Post-Period Phase
Estrogen & Yeast: A Tricky Balance
Right after your period, estrogen levels are at their lowest. These hormonal dips can affect your vaginal microbiome, reducing the beneficial bacteria that keep yeast in check.
pH Imbalance from Menstrual Blood
Menstrual blood has a higher pH than your vagina. This shift can disturb the vaginal environment and allow yeast to grow unchecked.
Tampons, Pads, and Hygiene Products
Extended use of tampons or scented products can introduce irritants and create a moist environment perfect for yeast growth.
Antibiotics
Antibiotic use may affect your immune system by reducing natural defenses.
Simple Ways to Stay Balanced Post-Period
🩲 Opt for breathable cotton underwear
🩸 Skip scented hygiene products
👙 Avoid sitting in damp clothes
💊 Support your microbiome with probiotics
🧹 Keep the vaginal area clean and dry
