usually symptons of a yeast infection are; strong fishy smells, down there, mucus like discharge, itching, & weird pains after you pee, feeling like you need to pee again, but can't.
if you think you have a yeast infection, treat it as immediately as possible, because it can lead to far worse infections.
girls get these all the time & there aren't any reasons to be embarrassed. just tell your mom that you feel you have one & need to see a doctor. it'll be all right, so don't panic :]

if you don't treat it as soon as possiable and you think you have had it for a while go to a doctor. if not use monistat 3 it's an over the counter product to get rid of yeast infections. the way you tell if you have had one is it will smell and you will have a white discharge. you might have itching. you can get yest infections from wearing tight jeans and sometimes after the meds you take, also you can get them after your periode. i've had a couple yeast infections and i have gotten them after my period and i use monstate but if it's an out of control yeast infection then go to your doctor. hope i helped in some way

go to your doctor as soon as possible! you would normally know when u have one by the symptoms which is itching and burning in the vagina and around the vulva (the skin that surrounds your vagina),a white vaginal discharge that may look like cottage cheese, pain during sexual intercourse or swelling of the vulva! but since you said its been like that for a while it could be caused by some of your colored underwear or even tight jean! but you should go to the doctor!
Good Luck

They do make over the counter medications for yeast infections. They are pretty expensive but you can try one of them and see how they work for you. If it doesn't help, please seek medical attention. Don't suffer needlessly. A simple antibiotic will take care of it and it is nothing to be embarrassed about.
Women get them all the time. :)
