Today, I got my very first yeast infection. Thinking she would help me, I went to my mom. Instead she began yelling about how I'm lying and it's an STD and I don't believe in the power of Jesus. FML

iv had this problem before, it is actual agony! drink loads of cranberry juice and get some antibioitics in you! also, having a wee after sex helps flush everything out (that's how i got mine). when i told my mum she called me a dirty stop out

Antibiotics can CAUSE a yeast infection, they shouldn't be used to fix one.

You had a urinary tract infection, most likely, not a yeast infection...

I think you probably had a UTI, rather than a yeast infection.

my apologies! for some reason i had it in my head a yeast infection was cystitis, not thrush! yeah, stay away from cranberry juice OP :P

You dont need to have sex to have a yeast infection. I had it early in my life and you can get it from antibiotics which I did

You can get it from a ton of things. Antibiotics, other medications - I was put on the pill at 14 because I was anemic and have endo - they wanted to stop my periods, and you often get yeast infections on the pill. I also got one when I was 10 from swimming in a lake and sitting around in a wet bathing suit. You can even get them from wearing underwear that doesn't breathe properly - you want 100% cotton.

I always make sure my panties are 100% cotton!

Join a monistat and take some monastery 7 along. Huh?

I think it's just me, but I read it as 'today I got my very first erection'.

How annoying. I'm sure you're mom has had many yeast infections in her time. Just go to a drug store and buy monistat or something, I hear it's pretty cheap.

Don't let the crazies drag you down.

Just go to the pharmacy and get something over the counter. Most women get a yeast infection at some point. Next time your mom gets one tell her to pray it away instead of putting her faith in science and modern medicine.

You poor thing. Go to the drug store and get something to help. If they recommend going to the doctors, see if another family member can accompany you.
