You can get yeast infections from numerous things, being on antibiotics can cause yeast infections. Also, tight clothing can also cause yeast infections. What are your symptoms? If you itch like CRAZY, and have a thick, yellow/green discharge, you most likely have a yeast infection! These can often be cleared by over the counter creams. Try Monistat or Vagistat. The night time one is best to use because you have to put a little pod in you and it dissolves throughout the night and leaks out, so it's best to do it at night! They also have creams for the outside to help with the itching. If the OTC meds don't help, go to the doctor!

Its not gross, well it is but its nothing to be ashamed off most women suffer from this at some time, some people suffer quite often actually. If the pain is accompanied by increased itching, Thick white discharge( tmi) and burning when you pee around the entrance to the vagina. I think it would be pretty safe to assume that you have it. I have this before and i went to the pharmacy and just asked for a thrush tablet. Its one tablet and it clears up almost immediatly but if you have had it for a while probably take about a week. However if you dont want to stop your sexual activity you can buy a pack of caneston which includes the tablet and a cream to sooth the area. However i must warn you yeast infection CAN be sexually transmitted if your not using a condom, so your partner could also have it and then you will just be passing it back and forth , so keep a look out to see if he has any symptoms and he can take a tablet and it will ease it also. Good luck and dont panick!!

If could come from using a douche. It could be sexually transmitted.
Because you don't know what type of yeast infection, you need to go the clinic or doctor and let them perform a pap smear.
If left untreated, it could affect your uterus and prevent you from having a baby in the future.
I know to many women who left an infection untreated in their younger years and paid dearly when, later in life, they got married and wanted desperately to have a child.
One had to adopt and never ever will experience pregnancy.

You've put up with itching and burning for a year?? Not a good thing. I'd suggest an OTC treatment (as they've worked for me) but since it has been going on for a year I'd see a doctor. (ob/gyn) soon as you can. Never ignore symptoms like that...It could also be a UTI and left untreated can adversly affect your kidneys. Be sure to drink a lot of water and pure cranberry juice to avoid having to go through it again, but once more go see a doctor.
