It could be vaginosis or vaginitis. Which are bacteria that inflame to vaginal walls and cells, causing yeast infections. If your doctor told you what you have is 'not a yeast infection', then he/she needs to run tests and do a pap smear and take cultures. yeast infections are common among woman of all ages. It doesn't mean that you're 'dirty' every woman gets it. But here are some ways to prevent it. Good luck.

Wear clean underwear. Some infectious organism thrive in hot, moist, environments, especially those created by nylon panties, tight jeans, wet bathing suits, and panty hose. So, if you're troubled by recurrent vaginal infections you may want to wear cotton underwear. Skirts and looser pants may also be advisable. Also, change sanitary pads often when menstruating.
-Avoid the problem of getting bacteria from your rectum into your vagina by always wiping front to back after a bowel movement.
-Do not use commercial douches, deodorant tampons, or other perfumed products that touch the vulvovaginal area. (Douches are not necessary for healthy hygiene).
-If you suspect a vaginal infection, avoid sex until your problem can be diagnosed and treated.
-Make sure your partner does not have a discharge or sores in the genital area.
If you are sexually active with men, always use a condom (ideally with spermicide) to lessen the risks of sexually transmitted diseases.
