Is it true that if you get a yeast infection, before you even started having sex, you can still get it a yeast infection back?
Well I haven't had sex since May, and it just started reacting yesterday, however when I use a Feminine wash, it calms it down for a few hours (more than 5 hours). I had my yeast infection when I was 10, and I haven't had one since now I have it, (I'm now 18)

try not to use "feminine wash". All those products that claim to clean the vagina actually do more harm than good.
I'd suggest you go to the GYN. You could be having a yeast infection from stress, taking medication or other reasons..

seriously .. if you think you have something wrong .. thebest place to get a GOOD answer is your doctor ....
if you use a femine product too often it can upset the natural balance of bacterias in your vagina ,, and that can cause yeast infections ... alsoso can taking some antibiotics.
there are some that say eating cultured yogurt will help to stablize the natural amounts of yeasts your body is suppose to have .. but when the balanceis off .. thats when things go a little haywire.
best advice i can think of .. is have it checked out .. you might not have that at all ... you could have something else .. without making your mind run even more rampid... if the last sexual relation you had was not protected.. there could be some symptoms of .. an STD showing up .
good luck and i hope things work out.

Yeast infections don't have anything to do with having sex. You can give it to your boyfriend. But if you haven't had sex since May, he didn't give it to you or cause you to have it. Its not a reaction to him, or to having sex.
Buy an over the counter yeas infection treatment. If it doesn't clear up completely, go see your doctor.
Make sure you buy a kit that has a cream for the outside of your ''stuff'' as well as an anti fungal cream for the inside. Make sure you follow the directions exactly. Use it at night when you are about to go to bed.
If it doesn't clear up and feel better with in a day or two... go see your doctor.

It's possible to get a yeast infection anytime. My mom's doctor told her she was getting them from soaking in the bath too long. You need to get a real medicine like Monistat to clear it up. Using feminine washes or douches too often isn't good for you. If the medicine doesn't help.. or if you get frequent discharge that has an odor, you could have an STD called trichonoma that acts a lot like a yeast infection. Best advice might be to see your doctor.

Various conditions, such as bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted disease (STD), can cause vaginal symptoms similar to those of a yeast infection. If you need help determining which condition you have, see the Check Your Symptoms section of the topic Vaginal Problems at WEBMD.com.
The most common symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection are:
* Vaginal itching.
* Irritated genital skin.
* Pain or burning in the genital area with urination or sexual intercourse.
* In some cases, white vaginal discharge that is usually curdlike and odorless. Some women have no noticeable discharge.
A vaginal yeast infection is usually treated with a vaginal antifungal cream, tablet, or suppository for several days.
