Dear Jacqui,
Hi, I'm a 15 year old girl and I've have never had a yeast infection before. I was wondering how you get them, and what the signs are. Elena

Dear Elena,
The symptoms are: Vaginal discharge that's whitish or slightly yellowish, itching and/or burning. However, these symptoms are similar for other vaginal infections that could be caused by bacteria not fungus. If these are your problems, I suggest you see a gynecologist just to make sure and avoid any health risks.

To avoid vaginal irritations and infections in the future...I advise you avoid soaps or body cleansing products containing fragrance, chemical dyes or plant additives. Select a pH balanced product such as Very Private Body Wash which is mild and unscented and contains an ingredient to help protect your vagina against irritations.
