Can a yeast infection cause a late period?

Yes it can. You need to see a doctor and get some medication for it. Don't self treat yourself! These are some tips to stop so many yeast infections: Try to stay away from breads, pastas, (sugars or anything that turns to sugar) Have showers and not baths. Baths are drying (even with oils in the bath) and many bubble bath products can actually cause infections in this area even in children. If you want a bath, have a body temp one and no bubble bath or oils, but use a mild soap and one without a lot of perfumes. Showers are better for you. Don't wear pantyhose without a cotton crotch and that includes underwear. Wear something like "Always Wings" pads instead of tampons. If you have a yeast infection then you will pass it onto your mate and he can transfer it back to you. Something most people don't realize is, just like when you were a little kid, it's good to run around naked and let the air get "there." Shut all the blinds in your house and go around naked for awhile or find a very private beach. Douches are not good for women! So stop! It's better to eat yogurt to balance your PH level in your body, stay away from sugar, breads, etc. Hope this helps. Marcy

Can a yeast infection cause bubbles in the urine?

Yes, it can but only if you are currently on antibiotics for the bladder infection since these antibiotics may interfere with the pH balance and acidity levels in your vaginal passage. Antibiotics aim to destroy all bacteria "good" and "bad". However while ridding the body of the bad bacteria and removing the unwanted symptoms such as burning, bleeding etc. the removal of the good bacteria may cause yeast infections, itching, irritation, dryness etc. Therefore you should research some natural ways of ridding the body of bladder infections if you have developed an yeast infection. Such as drinking lots of water to flush out bacteria, drink one glass of 100% unsweetened cranberry juice per day, have a bath before and after all sexual activity, urinate right after sex, don't hold in your pee, go when you feel the need to since moisture on the inside of th bladder may encourage growth of bacteria and don't worry to much u wont die...:)
