I got my first pap a couple days ago and it was the most AWFUL moment of my life! I was crying and freaking out, I dont know if it was pain or just extremely uncomfortable. I do have BV and a yeast infection (gross i know)…would that cause pain and discomfort during a pap? Im just scared to go back and have my doctor say I have cancer!

thats like asking if your first time having sex is gonna hurt or not-of course it is because your not gonna have the experience to know how to relax enough to where it wont hurt. and the fact that you have a BV and a yeast infection only will add to the pain factor because those are painful and uncomfortable in themselves. Dont worry,girl, everything will be fine the next go around

I had a yeast infection about a week and a half ago. I started spotting 3 days ago today…the flow is really lighter than usual. and different in color. So could the yeast infection cause a light period?

Yes, a yeast infection could cause spotting or abnormal periods. Most of the time your over-the-counter treatments for yeast infections tend to only cover the symptoms. They don’t usually correct the problem, which could be an internal acidic environment, your good bacteria is out of balance, your diet contains too many refined sugars, refined carbs, and alcohol(if this applies).

These are just a few things, but you can take action now to get your body back in balance. You can correct these problems and prevent getting a yeast infection ever again in the future. You can learn more about yeast infection causes and yeast infection signs and symptoms but checking this out.
