i am 21 years old and never had a yeast infection. Until... i got pregnant with my twins. I went to ob/gyn they would prescribe meds and it would go away..week or two weeks later it come back. He told me it was where my hormones were increasing.. After i had my twins. ive never had one again. but for eight months i fought with a yeast infection. i dont know if that will help but im sure its nothing to worry about.
