What Causes Vaginal Itching And Lower Abdominal Pain During Menstruation?

I am on my period, but the opening of my Vagina is itchy. I suspect that I might have a yeast infection but it is hard to tell being on my period. I have a slight lower abdominal pain, but I assume they re just cramps. Any home remedies I can take advantage of?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to yeast infection. A swab test will be helpful to rule out the condition. Cramps can be related to menstrual. You can apply clotrimazole cream locally. This is available as over the counter in brands like monistat. Using intimate wash daily is also good.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
