There are a lot of ways to get a yeast infection:
If you are exercising, or doing a physical activity where you may get sweaty, and you don't change your underwear right away then bacteria will grow and you could get a yeast infection. If you are taking an antibiotic for something than your body loses its ability to fight bacteria there and you can get a yeast infection. If you are sexually active and you do not use the bathroom shortly after you have had intercourse then again bacteria can build up. Unfortunately it is incredibly easy for girls to get a yeast infection. A good way to tell is if you have a yellowish discharge that may have an odor and it is unusually itchy in that area. Most of the time you can treat a yeast infection by picking up some monistat 7 at the grocery or pharmacy and that takes care of it. If you think you have one just go ahead and treat it yourself, you don't need a prescription or anything. If the over the counter stuff does not work than it may be a urinary tract infection and only a doctor can treat that. Hope I helped, good luck!

thanks!

Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend them all the care, kindness, and understanding you can muster. Your life will never be the same again.
