Question: Do I have a yeast infection?
Okay so I am 13 and I think I have a yeast infection. I don't know if I'm too young to have one I looked up how to know if you do have one it said you would have white stuff coming out of your vagina. And itchiness and burning. Well no burning but the occasional itch no crazy itchiness but I do have white stuff coming out of my vagina it doesn't smell but it kinda looks and feel la like a watery sour cream. Of course I am not sexually active but..... I do masturbate sometimes with a vibrator but usually I put a lump of clothing under me and move up and down way better than a vibrator but i don't know if that has anything to do with it. I am going thru puberty i am 5'2 I have a size b 34 for bra I am in 7th grade in Manitoba. I am too embarrassed to tell my mom or a doctor that is not a option but my mom does have a thing Called vagisil in the bathroom I have not had my period yet I should have it around may that's when my sister got hers she's a year older pleeeeease help I am worried that if I do nothing my vagina is going to like die hypothetically. Also when should've girl start to maturate I started when I was ten... I know it's crazy I do it 3 times a month so it doesn't get outta control( do not use my fingers it hurts cuz I haven't had my period so I'm not used to have stuff shoved up my vaginal area

Wow. That was...a lot of information. First of all, there is nothing wrong with masturbation. Do it as often as you like, however you like. The only time it is a problem would be if it is interfering with your life, e.g making you miss appointments, you're obsessing about it to the point that you cant think about anything else.

You very well could have a yeast infection. If you do, there is no reason to panic. It wont make your vagina "die", you might just be a bit uncomfortable for a while. Vagasil will not cure a yeast infection, it just treats itching. Monistat is an OTC medication for yeast infections, and it usually works for mild to moderate infections. You can also try PLAIN (this does not mean vanilla, this means PLAIN) yogurt on the affected area. If none of this works, you will need to seek medical care. Don't be embarrassed, lots of people get them, and it has nothing to do with your hygiene.

Yeast infections are caused by unbalanced pH levels that allow the growth of yeast. This could happen because you're going through puberty and are having a lot of hormonal changes. Also, if you wear a wet swimsuit for a long time it can cause yeast infections. Another common cause is taking antibiotics.

Good luck.

Hi,
Yeast infection symptoms range from mild to severe, including:

Itching and irritation in the vagina and at that entrance to the vagina (vulva)
A burning sensation, especially during intercourse or while urinating
Redness and swelling of the vulva
Vaginal pain and soreness
Thick, white, odor-free vaginal discharge with a cottage cheese appearance

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if:

This is the first time you've experienced yeast infection symptoms
You're not sure whether you have a yeast infection
Your symptoms don't go away after self-treating with over-the-counter antifungal vaginal creams or suppositories
You develop other symptoms

For mild to moderate symptoms and infrequent episodes of yeast infection, your doctor might recommend:

Short-course vaginal therapy. A one-time application or one-to-three-day regimen of an antifungal cream, ointment, tablet or suppository effectively clears a yeast infection in most cases. The medication of choice is from the class of drugs called the azoles; these include butoconazole (Gynazole), clotrimazole (Lotrimin), miconazole (Monistat) and terconazole (Terazol). Your doctor might prescribe one of these medications, or some preparations are available over-the-counter. The oil-based nature of these agents in cream and suppository form could potentially weaken latex condoms and diaphragms. Side effects of these topical medications are few, including a slight burning or irritation during application.Single-dose oral medication. Your doctor might prescribe a one-time single dose of the antifungal medication fluconazole (Diflucan) to be taken by mouth.
