so yes or no
if i do then is their things i can use at home to make it go away or something i can do to make it stop and does this spread if you have sex?
if no home products then could you name some over the counter ones and not to expensive and for sure will they work? and how long will it take to go away?
did i get it from having unprotected sex, if yes does that mean my bf has or had it to? and hows it feel to a guy if he has it bc it itchs for girls i believe.

It could also be a bacteria infection, which is can be spread sexually. None the less, if bacteria OR yeast, please see a doctor so that you will know for sure. Neither one is fun or comfortable. Please visit the website below for more in depth information on the differences of a yeast/bacteria infection.

There is a vaginal screening kit to identify which one it is. If it's a yeast infection, you may purchase something over the counter for this, ask the pharmacist which they advise. If the screening identifies a bacteria infection or STD, you must go to the doctor for a prescription drug - normally flagyl. In the case that it is one of these, your boyfriend will need medication too so that you two don't pass it back and forth to one another. I hope that you use protection to prevent this, as well as a possible pregnancy unless planned and old enough.
Another thing, medicated douches help with the minor irritations only- be sure to read the bottle before purchasing. This doesn't take care of the matter, it just helps a little. PLEASE REFRAIN from sexual activity until you have everything taken care of for your sake and your boyfriend.
Take care dear heart & be safe..

You don't have to have bumps for it to be a yeast infection. You can use the over the counter medication but if you had it while you were having sex, protected or not, chances are you shared it with your partner and he will have to have oral antibiotics to get rid of it. Men don't always show symptoms of having a yeast infection so he will need to tell the Dr that you had one and you had sex. If he doesn't get treated as well you will probably end up passing it back and forth. You will need to refrain from sex until you finish all of the medication. Try the 7 day ones because if it is bad the 1 and 3 day varieties do not always work.

You don't have to have bumps for it to be a yeast infection. Here are the symptoms:
* Burning, redness, and swelling of the vagina and the area around it
* Pain when urinating
* Pain or discomfort during sex
* A thick, white vaginal discharge that looks like cottage cheese and does not have a bad smell
So yes, I believe you do.
There are no "home remedies". It can only be rid of with antibiotics, so you either have to go to the doctor or get an off-the-counter medicine like Monistat. Even if you don't think you have it, it's best to go to the doctor find out. Plus, not to scare you, but these could be signs of an STD.
It's rare to get a yeast infection from sex. It's usually from stress, lack of sleep, illness, poor diet, period, and other factors.
