Hi,
I understand your concern.
Vaginal itching during menstruation could be due to hormonal changes and yeast infection.
I suggest to run vaginal swab testing to rule out yeast infection and get it treated adequately.
PCOS can be confirmed through ultrasound examination and hormonal blood tests.
Check your blood sugar levels to rule out diabetes.
Hope this helps.
