Yeast Infections?
The other day, my vagina was really itchy, for like half an hour, so I got really paranoid and thought I had a yeast infection, but there was no discharge or anything. The next day, it wasn't itchy, but I'm still really curious as to why it was itchy... I looked at my vagina in a mirror to see if I could see anything, and the skin of my labia was darker color than the rest of my body, but I heard that was normal, that the vagina could be different skin tones than the rest of your body.
Also, if I went to the doctor to see if it was a yeast infection, how would they diagnose it? What procedures would they do?
I'm 17

chances are you aren't washing well enough down there...if it's only itched for 1 day just make sure you keep it cleaner...if it persists and you see inflammation and redness then go see a doctor to check and see if its a yeast infection...actually vagisil has a new kit...it looks almost like a pregnancy test that checks to see if you have a yeast infection or something more serious...but the doctor will usually look and possibly do a vaginal swab but not necessarily..sometimes just listening to your symptoms they know...but I wouldn't think much of it...just clean better

Sometimes it gets itchy from irritated pubic hair follicles or if you haven't showered in a couple days. If it continues to itch, it might be an infection, but if it's just a one day thing, it's most likely cleanliness issues. Even if you shower everyday, maybe you should scrub a little harder "down there". You should be okay. I'm not sure about the procedures, but if you think it is a yeast infection, you should see a rash, inflammation, or redness.

NOw i am not tottaly sure of this:
I believe that to be safe ask your mom. and don't be embarassed.
Go to the doctor and see.
It is relitively simple to check. Just don't be afraid to do it, he/she is a doctor they know what they are doing!!!
and finnaly the treatment(if i am correct)is really simple i beileve it is a random series of antibioctics.....
But agian i am not 100% sure just about 99%...
