Virginal yeast infection?

just curious....is it sexually transmitted? and how do you know when you have a yeast infection?

There's alot of random things that can cause yeast infections. Wet underwear, too tight underwear, not changing pads/pantiliners often enough, sticking objects inside or on you without cleaing them first, some antibiotics, etc.
It can also happen from sex if the people aren't clean (ex: have oral sex, then kiss), and it can spread between the guy and girl. Guys don't show symptoms as much, so they can pass it on if not careful. This is why if you have a yeast infection, you should tell your partner and tell them to not have sex until they have gotten medicine for it or are completely better.
In general, you're less likely to get one if you keep clean, on your own, and during sex. If you have one, you can tell because you will feel itchy, painful, and it might hurt to pee, and you might get weird discharge from your vagina. See a doctor if you get a yeast infection. They can prescribe a medicine for it.

it can be transmitted sexually but doesn't have to be- even baby girls get it, go to webmd.com and you can list all your symptoms there. usually discharge will be yellowish and smell fishy- that is a huge sign
