Re: yeast infection!!!!

well here's the deal. it is going to do you no good to lie to your mom because if you are under 18 your mom will be involved with medical issues, that is just the law. i did the same exact thing when i was 16. i was having sex even though i told my parents i wasn't and i got pregnant. the state i live in at the time had a no consent clause which meant i could get an abortion without my parents knowing. i did and it was the hardest thing to go through alone.

my whole point to this is that yes it could be a yeast infection, but there is a good chance that it could be something else. it could be bacterial vaginosis, clyamidia, HPV, or other STD's. did you know that 80% of the sexually active population has a form of HPV? the virus that causes warts and in women most often cervical cancer? this is not intended to scare you, but you need to realize that if this is something more serious you must get it treated and if that means spilling the beans so be it. it is one uncomfortable moment in the rest of your sexually active life, if you are willing to have sex, you have to be willing to deal with stuff like this.

i am now 27 with a 7 month old son. i can't imagine my life as a 16 year old mom. i actually just told my mom about the abortion. we both cried. she because she wasn't there for me and I because i wouldn't let her be.

Re: yeast infection!!!!

Where I live, you go into the gynecologist exam room alone and everything is private. The doctor is not allowed to discuss your exam with your mom. Personally as a mom, I would not want to be in the exam room with my daughter. I would find it uncomfortable and I am sure she would be totally embarrassed. If you think that your mom is going to want to be in the room, discuss it calmly how the exam will be uncomfortable enough without her in the room.

Your mom is smart to take you to the gynecologist. You could have something other than a yeast infection. Plus the doctor will ask you important questions that you should be totally honest about. If you are not on the pill, he can prescribe them for you. Just remember that the doctor is there to help you and not preach morals.

Re: yeast infection!!!!

NEVER NEVER put vinegar and water in your vagina when you suspect a yeast infection, all that will do is make it worse.

I got yeast infections alot as a teen. I have no idea why either, but its strange, eversince I have been with hubby ( since I was 21 ) I havent gotten one .

Do you take antibiotics alot for sickness, this can cause yeast infections. When on antibiotics I always get my dr to give me a diflucan as well so I dont get the infection.

Go to the store and buy some monistat or some sort of yeast infection mediciation and take it as directed. If it does not cure it you should go to your gynocologist.
