View allI'm curious about whether PCOS could be causing my periods to be so light. I used to have normal bleeding for about five days, but now its only lasting two. What could be causing this change?

Can sperm survive in menstrual blood?
Women are not able to conceive whilst on their period, but sperm survives within the female reproductive system for up to five days. This means that a tiny fraction of women do have a small chance of becoming pregnant during their period.

I've been going through something a bit strange lately and just wanted to ask for some advice. So, I've been feeling this odd sensation in my vagina for the last few days. Initially, it was really itchy and I thought it might be a rash, but there wasn't any. And I know I don't have any STIs, so I figured maybe I had a yeast infection because, honestly, my hygiene hasn't been top-notch recently. But now the itching has stopped, which is good, but it still feels like there's something in there. It doesn't hurt or burn, and there's no bad smell or weird discharge, which is a bit confusing. It's not really affecting my daily life, but I'm kind of curious and a little worried about what it might be. Could this still be a yeast infection or do you think it's something else?
