About 2 years ago, I developed a severe case of vaginal yeast infection https://tr.im/TreatmentYeastInfection
Note that:
Before you buy any medication from an online pharmacy you should consider doing some inquiry on the company first. You only get inadequate information from those pharmacies that can't be trusted. You should be able to get enough and convincing information after searching from search engines such as Google and from lists of legit directory of Pharmacies. As those that get defrauded commonly release something over the internet to warn others. You need to find comfort from trusting an online pharmacy before placing an order. Follow pharmacies that are accredited by the VIPPS or Vet-VIPPS programs without prescription

yeast infections can be caused by medications, or a hormonal change, sex.. lots of things.. no biggie..most younger women get them in their lifetime..yeast is always present in the body, it is just when the balance has been upset that you get the itchy discharge..she should see a doctor though, because it is possibly a symptom of something else.

young children can get yeast infections, even babies and boys too. If the mom is 1/2 smart she will not think her daughter is sexually active, it is a germ. Your friend needs antibiotics and her Mom should know so she can get medicine if left untreated it can get worst and become very painful.

yeast can grow anywhere that it is warm, moist, and dark. they call this a "Candidal" infection.Candidal infections commonly occur in warm moist body areas, such as underarms. Usually your skin effectively blocks yeast, but any breakdown or cuts in the skin may allow this organism to penetrate.
Typical affected areas in babies include the mouth and diaper areas. In adults, oral yeast infections become more common with increased age. Adults also can have yeast infections around dentures, under the breast and lower abdomen, nailbeds, and beneath other skin folds. Most of these candidal infections are superficial and clear up easily with treatment.
Rarely, the yeast infection may spread throughout the body. In systemic candidal disease, up to 75% of people may die. Even common mouth and vaginal yeast infections can cause critical illness and can be more resistant to normal treatment.
~Yeast infections that return may be a sign of more serious diseases such as diabetes, leukemia, or AIDS.
~In women, yeast infections are the second most common reason for vaginal burning, itching, and discharge. Yeasts are found in the vagina of most women and can overgrow if the environment in the vagina changes. Antibiotic and steroid use is the most common reason for yeast overgrowth. But pregnancy, menstru-ation, sperm, diabetes, and birth control pills also can contribute to getting a yeast infection. Yeast infections are more common after menopause. In people who have a weakened immune system because of cancer treatments, steroids, or diseases such as AIDS, candidal infections can occur throughout the entire body and can be life-threatening. The blood, brain, eye, kidney, and heart are most frequently affected, but the candidal fungus also can grow in the lungs, liver, and spleen. Candida is the leading cause of esophagitis (inflammation in the throat) in people with AIDS.
Almost 15% of people with weakened immune systems develop a systemic illness caused by Candida. These infections enter into the bloodstream through breakdowns or cuts in the skin or mucous membranes. Candidal organisms may build up in an area because of frequent use of strong antibiotics, which kill the bacteria that normally keep it under control.
Use of devices implanted in the skin such as urinary catheters and IV ports also provide access for the yeast to enter the body. IV drug addicts using dirty needles may inject the yeast directly into their bloodstream or deep tissues. so no~sex is not the only way yeast infections are made.

Yest infections are caused by too much moisture in the vaginal area. Yeast grows in warm, moist environments.

No they are wrong...it's an overgrowth of bacteria. It can happen for taking antibiotics too long. Cleans out all your good bacteria and causes an overgrowth of the yeast bacteria. Ask me how I know....
Hope this helps

yeast infections can be caused not only from sex, but from not keeping the area clean
