Yeast infection or not?


Question:
i had sex for he first time a few days ago and now i think i have a yeast infection.. can you get them from having sex? could this be something else?

Answers:
Could be yeast infection or even an std. They sell test kits at the pharmacy that will tell you if you have a yeast infection or not. If you do you can get the cream and it'll be gone in a few days.
If you've never had one before, go to the doctor. You want to make sure it's nothing serious. It could be a simple yeast infection, but it might not be.
A yeast infection is not something you should self diagnose. there's a new test you can buy at Walgreen's, it's an over the counter test and will help you figure out if you have bladder infection or a yeast one.

Yeast will typically come with burning and itching with yellow thick discharge. that smells AWFUL. So get the test. You can get a yeast infection through sex, and not peeing right after wards and you can get one through stress and not changing moist under ware or a swim suit. A number of things, try the at home test or go to a doctor!
I hope you used a condom- not to sounds like your mother but I cannot tell you enough how important this is! Peace of mind is the best thing ever. If you have ever had to take a HIV test you will know what I mean- BE careful! Anyway, if you used a condom you could be having a reaction to the latex. I used to have really bad reactions to them as well. If you didn't then I suggest going to the doctor as well. If you need some peace of mind before going to the doctor there is a new product that can determine if you have an infection. I haven't used it but i saw the commercial. Go to walgreens, it will be with the monistat (it may even be a monistat product) Good luck and please, please use a condom, you don't realize how risky sex is until you have a scare! Yes, you can get a yeast infection from having sex-you can also give it a man.
Well, you could get a yeast infection after sex if you don't wash your self and you have damp panties on. Yeast grows in warm damp places.
