first of all Yeast infection is caused by fungus when an overgrowth of the yeast contained in our bodies grows out of control. There are several different types that can be found in harmless amounts in the mouth, vagina, bowels, and on the skin. If an overgrowth of this fungus (called Candida) develops in the the body, most often it causes itching and burning in and around the vagina and on the outer parts of the female genitals, called the vulva.
there are different causes of yeast infection, from my experience for it to be proper diagnosed first time a doctor has to be known, or if you are sure of that its yeast their are certain cream or even tablets that can be taken which include
cannsten cream , diflucan tablet --> works within two hours
To help prevent yeast infections you should wear loose, natural-fiber clothing and underwear with a cotton
try not to wear tight leather trousers
hope this was helpful
