OK...first question...here's the answer. It is up to you...it is your personal preference. And it does grow, that is why you have to at least trim it.

Signs of yeast infection are:
tons of itching!
discharge that is thick and sometimes smelly

Not everyone gets them. I was 24 when I got my first one and that was when I was pregnant.

You can pick up the medicine at the store in the womens section. usually next to the pads and such. I prefer to get the 7 day treatment b/c my doctor suggested that it works better.

Any more questions you should talk to your mom...she can probably help out more.

BTW before you treat yourself for a yeast infection you need to go to the doctor to make sure that is what you really have. It even states that on the package.

Good luck.

If a woman never trims their pubic hair the hair will not grow forever (like as in it will get so long that it reaches the floor). One can trim the hairs, my dr encourages me to do this when I need to (and I do for medical reasons).

Signs of a yeast infection can be discharge that is thick like cottage cheese, itchiness, redness of the vulva (the external genital area). One can get it from staying in wet bathing suits such as after going swimming.

To confirm if one has a yeast infection they should see a dr instead of trying to self-treat with products that are in the store because it could be a different infection than a yeast infection.

The dr will give special medications to help clear up the yeast infection. The medication treatment can last 7 days, sometimes three depending on the product the dr prescribes.

Yes, most girls get at least once in their growing up and in life. I was 16 when I had my very first yeast infection.

I am pretty sure that pubic hair is like arm hair or eyebrows it only ever gets a certain length. As for yeast infections, they are a fungus (eeww i know). It is usually caused by an increased level of the bacteria and yeast which are always present but sometimes take over. A lot of women get them when they take antibiotics since they kill all bacteria in your body good and bad. Not all get them. i am 29 and have never had one. You can take a pill or use over the counter meds to get rid of them. As long as you catch one fast enough you can get rid of it pretty fast, less than a week. But, some can be worse than others.

Your pubic hair will not keep growing.
The signs of a yeast infection are a white cottage cheese like discharge that itches, if it is another color then you should go into get checked for something else.
Most girls do get yeast infections at one point in there life.
You can go to the store and by over the counter yeast infection cream.
Usually lasts about 1-7days depending on the type of cream you get.

signs of a yeast infection would be itchiness and discharge on your panties.You get these infections from wearing tight panties and jeans and you sweat.Which causes bacteria that causes the infection.You have to air it out at times,wear loose fit clothing.Go see a dr. if u feel u have one.And not everyone gets it.I have had it once and my friend gets it all the time.People r different.It will last for as long as you don't treat it.and it will get worse and so so itchy and red and very uncomfortable.So talk with your mom if you think you have one.Another sign would be an odor with your discharge.
