Yeast infections???

Does anybody else get a yeast infection or anything like that a week before your period?? I’ve noticed the past couple months I’ve been having this problem. It goes away when my periods done, but comes back a week before I get it. Is there a way to stop it? I hate going to the doctors, so thought I’d ask here first before having to go through the anxiety of talking/seeing my doctor.

🥺🥺

ALSO, I used tampons this month for my period. It’s helped and I don’t feel discomfort like I would with pads. Could I be making the infection worse??
