A yeast infection, is not something you should worry about telling your mom. It's not like an STD or anything over thew top serious. Women get them all the time. In fact, I'm dealing with one right now, so I can definitely relate, as wellm as tell you what I've learned.
Anything from the way you wipe, what you wear, how you eat, if you shave, and yes, if you are sexually active.. can give you a yeast infection.
A Yeast Infection in hardly serious, but it's extremely uncomfortable, and it only gets worse. I know that you're not ready to tell your mom, even though this is nothing to be embarressed about..but if it's really a problem, Monistat 7, is your best bet. But if that doesn't work, you need to see a doctor, who will prescribe antibiotics, and know way more information then anyone else.
Good luck.
Edit: It can go away by itself. But sometimes, they get a little more serious then normal-- which is when you'd visit a physician. I'm seeing on Thursday-- don't be scared to do it too. Also, try Yeast Guard. It's natural and you can find it in places like CVS or Rite Aid. Any kind of drug store, basically.
Feel better.

I feel for you..and honestly the best thing would be to go to your mom. Because if you have never had a yeast infection before its best to go to your doctor to make sure that it is only a yeast infection and not something more serious. The symptoms are like the person below me said thicker discharge with a strong smell. But the worst part of having a yeast infection is the itching....it itches like CRAZZZYYY!!
its best to go see your doctor, she can prescribe you a pill to take or you can go to the pharmacy and buy monistat, but I really suggest that you go see your doctor.

A yeast infection will smell...like yeast. A discharge will be present usually really thick. Don't be confused though, a normal discharge could be the same. I "think" that with a yeast infection it is generally described as being chunky like cottage cheese. I personally have never had one, but I do know certain things can cause them. They are common in women who are pregnant and also, so I've heard, if you wear tight, thick underwear that does not allow the vagina to breathe! It needs air. The proper underwear to wear is a thin cotton material. If you still aren't sure, I would go to your local pharmacy and ask the pharmacist, they should be able to help you free of charge! That's what they are there for. :D
