Is it possible to get a yeast infection from laser hair removal?

May 2, 2019
Asked By:Energetic2878 in Victoria, BC

 When I get laser treatments for my vagina section it’s normal but once I get my period and the day when I finish I get a yeast infection and it’s a really bad pain where it doesn’t go for a week and now I’ve had mine for almost a week and two days. Do you think the problem is the laser or maybe I’m allergic to the pads?
