You can get a yeast infection from eating sugary or starchy foods (carbs). If you were on antibiotics, you can get a yeast infection too. In the summer if you wear tight jeans, you can get one. If you don't wear cotton panties you can get one. Don't worry. It is nothing to be embarrased about. You can eat lots of yogart with live cultures in it to replace the natural bacteria that grows inside your body and keeps the yeast infections away and that will help. If this is the first one you have ever had, you really need to tell your mom and let her get you some medicine from the drug store (it is over the counter now), or let her take you to the doctor for a checkup. Do you have any discharge? Is it white or yellow and thick? Some people even will take yogart with live cultures and put it on their vag.... and leave it there for a few minutes so the cultures in it can help ease the itching. Really, you need to tell your mom. She won't think you have done anything you shouldn't. It is part of growing up. You might want to stop drinking sugary drinks and eating so much sugar, cos yeast thrives on sugar. If you cut the sugar out of your diet and eat yogart every day or take acidophilis (from the health food store in the refrigerator section) you will keep from getting them again. Your mom has probably had them before too, and maybe lots of them. I know I have. Let her know, don't suffer. She will understand.

Hi,

Nothing wrong it is your Puberty time .This is the time when the body changes from that of a child to that of an adult. These changes are brought about by chemicals in the body called hormones.

Changes in Girls

Puberty is the time when a girl becomes physically able to have babies. Puberty generally happens earlier in a girl than it does in a boy, commonly between 9 and 13 years of age. This is the reason why girls may be taller and may act more mature than boys for a few years until the boys catch up. The following changes take place in the body:

Breasts: The breasts start to develop, and small, tender lumps appear under one or both nipples that get bigger over the next few years. It is common for one breast to be larger than the other initially. Later they even out as they reach their final size and shape. Girls, therefore, need to wear a bra, an experience that may be exciting as well as embarrassing in the beginning.

Hair: Soft, curly hair grow in the pubic area, the area between the legs. Hair also appear under the arms and on the legs.

Body shape: Hips become wider and the body begins to deposit fat on the stomach, buttocks, and the legs. This gives the woman's body a more curvaceous shape.

Skin: The skin may get more oily and sweats more. Pimples may appear and are called acne.

Menstruation: Menstrual "periods" begin in most girls between 9 and 16 years of age. During the menstrual period a blood-like fluid flows out of the vagina. This is a monthly discharge and requires a girl to wear some kind of sanitary pad or tampon to absorb this fluid and keep it from soiling the clothes. Pads have adhesive strips and are worn inside the panties. Tampons are placed inside the vagina.

In the beginning the periods are irregular and scanty or heavy. Later they become regular. Most periods last from 3 to 7 days. After the period, there may be a day or two of light bleeding, called spotting. This is normal.

If bleeding occurs regularly between periods, the doctor must be consulted. Menstrual periods do not necessarily limit ones activities like swimming, sports, riding, or gym classes. Exercises help get rid of other discomforts that may be present during the periods. These include:


cramps

bloating

soreness or swelling in the breasts

headaches

sudden mood changes or irritability

depression

Itching in vegina

Yes, this sounds like a yeast infection. Please let your mom know what is going on. This also needs to be evaluated by a doctor to confirm that it is indeed a yeast infection before you start trying to treat it with something yourself.

first,there`s nothing to be shy or scared of,beside i think it`s normal but to be more safer u can use any antifungal vaginal cream,or an antibacterial+antifungal at the same time would be much more effective&don`t be scared it`s something very normal happens to all women due to some changes.
