yeast infection is not a sign of pregnancy , but it is common to get a uti or yeast infection during pregnancy this is prbs what your friend means.
yeast infections can be caused by many things, using perfumed soap or bubble bath when washing, or in your bath tub, can cause this as it causes a change in the balance of yeast down there therefore causing a yeast infection .
also things like certain fabrics such a tights, or underwear, (dependign on the fabric) can cause it too.
it is basically caused by an increase of yeast down there and can be easily treated via cream and./or a tablet. which are available from your doctor or chemist.

A yeast infection can be caused by many things. It is a bacterial infection that you can get from having sex, being pregnant, taking antibiotics, etc. You can get a yeast infection just by wearing tight pants. If you believe you have a yeast infection, you can go to your local drug store and pick up some over the counter medication, such as Monistat. Remember that while you are treating yourself with the medications that if you have sex, to use a condom, or the medication will be ineffective. You can also spread a yeast infection to your partner. Also, having a yeast infection can give a false negative on any pregnancy test. Treat yourself with the yeast infection medication, then take another home pregnancy test, or visit your gynecologist.
Hope this helps.

Yeast infections are caused by a number of things and are very normal. Most women have a few in their life times.Go to WebMD.com and search for vaginal yeast infections. They give some good information there as far as what causes them and how you can treat them.
If you see a doctor you may be able to get a prescription for Diflucan which will treat the infection within 24 hours.
You can also use something like Monistat that is available at the drug stores. That takes a little longer and can be a little uncomfortable.

a yeast infection is caused by an inbalance of the bacterias in the vagina. yeast is common in the vagina all the time. having sex with a man that isnt clean can give you one, tight fitting cloths and not cleaning well yourself. ALSO antibotics have a tendancy to kill the good bacterias that prevent yeast infections... best thing to do now is get on a medication that will clear it up either over the counter stuff or from your dr. some women get them all the time no matter what you may just be a lucky one ! good luck

Hello, I'm on the second week and seeing definite improvement on my yeast infection symptoms:

Note that: If the yeast infection doesn't respond to over the counter treatment, prescription medication will likely be necessary. Similarly, if the symptoms return after two months of being treated, you should contact the doctor for professional treatment rather than resorting again to home treatment.

If this is the first time you have experienced a yeast infection, you should schedule an appointment to have the condition treated by a doctor instead of resorting to home treatment

Yeast (a bacteria) in a warm and wet place (like your vagina) will reproduce more rapidly than your body will be able to cleanse.
Yeast can get into your vagina a number of ways such as sharing pantyhose, sitting on a bar stool in a mini skirt, sex, or heavy petting with a baker.
However, another common cause of yeast infections is the introduction of food for the yeast inside your vagina such as strawberry jam, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce. Even if you just have that on the outside and it gets licked off, it will get enough inside to be a feast for yeast.
And remember: No heavy petting with the baker!

From exactly that, yeast. Its the type of bacteria in the vagina that becomes more aboundant than the other and causes a yeast like infection. Normal really and could happen at any time. Probably just your diet. Drink more Cranberry Juice and more Veggies.

there are a number of reason for yeast infections. try looking for a natural cure, at naturalcures.com. Herbal remedies are most and best helpful. you can also go to the nearest pharmacy and pickup some MONOSTAT or any other over the counter product for such problem. ask the pharmacist.
