You can get yeast infection from having sex from somebody else who has it, and from other things, like pool, hot tub chemicals can cause it. If you're over 16 or so, I'm sure you can go to the doctor on your own and talk to him/ her about it. You don't need your mom for that. But you will probably need something for it, I don't think it will go away on it's own.

Are you sure it's a yeast infection? It could be a STD if you had unprotected sex. Tell your mom and see a doctor ASAP.

Hi :) I have a huge book full of natural remedies to help you from a sunburn to a yeast infection and one of the remedies for a yeast infection is to take a turkey baster and fill it with plain, greek yogurt, and inject in the vagina, I tried it and it works very well, it soothes and treats it....As for telling your mom I don't see why it would be a big deal? That is why she is your mom to help you :)

Don't be scared to tell your mom! This is completely normal for women. You should make an appointment with your doctor. This will rule out any other problems it could be like STIs. Eat some yogurt because it has natural yeast to restore your pH in the vagina. To prevent this from happening again: wear 100% cotton underwear, reduce simple sugars and soda intake, remove wet bathings suits asap, avoid douching, avoid super absorbent tampons, avoid bubble baths. To kill the yeast off your underwear, wash in hot water and dry in hot dryer. Yeast, candida albicans, is a fungus that likes to grow in dark moist places. The vagina is the perfect place for it to grow. 75% of women will have at least one episode and 40-50% will have two or more episodes in their lifetime.
