what is yeast infection?how do we get that?
A yeast infection is an overabundance of bacteria growth.
I am not sure exactly why or how some people get it but it is not an STD and children can have it as well.
For me it is like anything that goes near my vagina sets off a yeast infection.
Have you seen your doctor about this? Have you had one before?

Hi there. Yeast infection is basically an overgrowth of yeast in the vagina. Ph of the vagina is off and it grows. Women get it after taking antibiotics (when ALL bacteria is killed including good bacteria we need to have), douching and other ways. it is treated either over the counter of preferred, to go to the doctor, get checked out and then a systemic pill is given which works fantastic.
good luck
