Answer 1

Thrush is another name for a yeast infection and yes one can get it even with being a virgin. I got my very first yeast infection when I was 16 years old. It can occur because of things like staying in a wet bathing suit.

I would recommend having the doctor evaluate this situation further to see what they have to say.

Answer 2

Make an appointment to see your doctor. It sounds like you have a yeast infection. Which is one of those things that you don't need to be sexually active to get. I get them when I'm prescribed a certain antibiotic. If you don't want to go to the doctor, go to the pharmacy and get something for it. There are many forms of relief available. If you're not sure what to get, ask the pharmacist for suggestions. Yogurt also helps get rid of yeast infections. Eat at least 3 servings a day for a week, or until infection is gone.

Answer 3

first, thrush is usually in the mouth, of little ones or babies who drink milk bottles, it is a build up of yeast, to clear it the pediatrician will give oral drops. and takes a few days to clear. not painful ususally, looks kinda wierd tho................ it sounds like what you have is a vaginal yeast infection. it is uncomfortable, itchy, feels like burning sometimes. like you just wanna scratch it all out. it can happen for several reasons, hormones, off balance vaginal bacteria{we all heve reg, bacteria in there}}}staying in a wet swimsuit, not cleaning often enough... THERE ARE VERY SIMPLE TREATMENTS>>>>the first is eat a yogurt, one a day for a few days, it will help your body's intestinal and vaginal bacteria get back to normal..the 2nd,,, go to store buy some vagisil, there are a few different ones, follow the directions carefully, usually you have to insert the cream with an applicator like a tampon. feels kinda gross wear a pad to catch anything that comes back out. do it at home at night so nothing embarassing and you can clean up if you need to..........the 3rd, would be go to your mom, have her take you to the gyn. and get a presription for it. there is one that is 7 days, 3 days even a 1 day.. the 1-3 day pills , you take the pill, but it will take a few days for it all to clear up...

Answer 4

Well it's probably a yeast infection....thrush is usually contained in the mouth. You don't have to be sexually active to get a yeast infection and if you're worried about telling your mother, don't be. You do need to get it diagnosed.
