Answers:

Anyone can get a yeast infection all ages/male or female, but females tend to have yeast infections the most. And some symptoms of Vaginal Yeast Infection are:
- vaginal itching
- vaginal burning
- vaginal irritation
- painful urination
- painful sexual intercourse
- odorless vaginal discharge (may be thick whitish-gray and cottage-cheese-like or may be watery in consistency).

You may or may not have a yeast infection the only way you'll know for sure, if you get checked out by a doctor.

Also, Normal vaginal fluids is usually clear or milky white and does not have an unpleasant odor. The normal vaginal discharge is thicker at specific times of the menstrual cycle (at the time of ovulation), during breastfeeding, or during sexual arousal. You should see a doctor if you have a increase in the amount of vaginal discharge, an abnormal odor or consistency of the fluid, or pain, itching, or burning that accompanies vaginal discharge can all be signs of infection or other more serious disorders.
