Do I have a yeast infection?

You probably do. A few years ago, I was sick and the doctor prescribed me some antibiotics. After I took all my antibiotics and I felt better, I soon developed a yeast infection. I went to the doctor and he told me it was because of the antibiotics

It's not exactly normal but it is possible.  So, your hormones levels change with your menstruation and that can cause yeast infections.  Some women get vaginal (and/or oral) yeast infections with each period. You should ask your doctor about it.  You could also consider eating yoghurt or taking an Acidophilus Bifidus Cassius suppliment.  Avoid foods containing yeast, too. Also, try not to get stressed as that won't help.  I hope things get sorted out for you.  You can email me if you like, through yahoo, if you need someone talk to.

It could possibly mean that you have a yeast infection. The skin could be itrritated form the yeast. If yuor experiencing itching and burning also then it could also be a yeast infection, you never know until you go to the doctor, so go get check out ASAP.

Sounds like a yeast infection. Get it checked out, and if it is, make sure you tell your bf. Men can carry yeast infections, so if you get rid of it and have unprotected sex with him again, you will just get it again.

I believe it is a yeast infection. It is caused when the levels good bacteria for your body are low and this allows yeast to grow since that bacteria fight it off. Check out the site under sources for more info, but I know it can be caused by antibiotics.

It might be a low-grade yeast infection.  You can try an OTC product, but if it doesn't help, you may need to go to a doctor and get a culture & exam done.  \n\nAnd that would be vaginal pain and not pregnant, BTW.

In where? And what kind of white stuff?\n\nAre you a female? Are you having a white vaginal discharge that's a little like cottage cheese? If so, yeast infection.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but once you have a yeast infection, you are much more likely to get more.  If you are quite sexually active, you may want to try douching every so often. Use a very mild form and follow the labels directions for how frequently to use it. Also, if you use tampons, never use them past 8 hours. Use smaller sizes if necessary. Tampons used for too long are a great cause of yeast infections. While you do have an infection, change your underwear at least twice a day. Make sure you wash them well and that they are completely dry, (from the washing!). I myself have used Canestan one day therapy, but if you get infections quite often, I suggest you consult your doctor for a milder type. The one day types are quite strong and should not be used often. Take care of yourself, no one else will.

It is possible to suffer from a yeast infection without exhibiting all of the symptoms of a yeast infection. Typically a woman will notice a thick discharge, will suffer from itching and irritation, and may experience pain or buring while urinating or having sex. Sometimes the discharge is whitish in color, sometimes it may be more yellow. Sometimes the discharge is odorless, sometimes it may have a yeasty smell to it. Sometimes there may not be any noticeable discharge. Symptoms and the severity of the symptoms can vary among women and how soon the woman seeks to have it diagnosed and treated.\n\nIt is always important to visit your doctor or gynecologist if you suspect you may have a yeast infection, because these symptoms can be easily confused with other conditions that have similar symptoms. Different vaginal infections like a yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis and trichominasis can all have similar symptoms, but they are all treated in different ways because they are caused by different organisms.\n\nLike others have said, I am going to advise you to visit a doctor. Don't try to self-treat yourself because you may be trying to treat a vaginal infection that won't respond to the treatments you are trying to use if you're just going by your symptoms. Your doctor will need to do a pelvic exam and take a culture-swab to determine the cause of your infection, so that you can receive the proper treatment.\n\nDon't listen to people on here. Though they are trying to help, they can't correctly diagnose you just by your symptoms. So visit your doctor, or if that's a problem, try locating a low-cost women's health clinic in your area until you can get things smoothed out. Best of luck to you!

Is it white and kind of cottage cheese like? If so, then it is probably a yeast infection. You should see a doctor to make sure, and get some medicine. Check out this site for more information:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeast_infection#Symptoms

Symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection include itching and burning in the vagina and around the vulva, a white vaginal discharge that may look like cottage cheese, pain during sexual intercourse, and swelling of the vulva.  The discharge smells like yeast.  If you have never had one before, then you need to see your doctor for a proper diagnosis, before buying any type of over the counter medication.

No.  But you'd better seek medical attention to get it cleared up.  Yeast is natural in the body and only presents a problem when there is an overgrowth of the normal amount.

if it itches a lot it is more than likely a yeast infection.  But, if you are sexually active it could also be an STD.  if you are unsure,  it wouldn't hurt to go to the doctor to get checked

It is not healthy to have sex with a yeast infection.  It will make your symptoms worse and prolong the healing process.  Also, you can pass the infection on to your partner.  Since men rarely to never show signs if they have a yeast infection, he will most likely go untreated and pass the infection back to you or whomever else he may have sex with.
