HEALTH & FITNESS | YOUR BOD | DOWN THERE

Will my skinny jeans give me a yeast infection?

 
One day I came home from school and I was wearing a pair of skinny jeans. My mom told me to change. I had a lot of homework to do, so I didn't. She told me later that if I didn't change into something less tight, I would get a vagina infection. Is that true?

 

Your mom is right about this one, babe. Our generation’s penchant for increasingly tight pants has also increased the likelihood that you could get a yeast infection down there. Why? Well, think about it this way: The tighter your clothes fit, the less able your vagina becomes to “air out”. That allows the good bacteria to multiply way too fast, causing not-so-good things to happen.

 

While wearing your skinnies to school probably won’t hurt ya, it’s a good idea to change up your look from day to day, and to change into looser-fitting clothes when you get the chance.

Something's up. I just finished my period. It itches (just a little, not really at all) and it hurts a little when I sit and walk down there. My discharge frankly seems normal, though. I think I might have irritated it because I didn't change my pads as frequently as I should have. Can you help? What exactly do you think is going on? Thanks.




Hey girlie,

It could just be irritation from wearing pads/having all that "gunk" down there. Sometimes when it's more moist down there, it can throw us off a little and make things uncomfy. But if it starts to itch a lot - and it starts to itch farther inside - you should see your doc. It could be a yeast infection, and those are NOT fun! Itchy itchy itchy stuff. So if you catch it early, your doc can give you creams to soothe the irritation and help ya get back on track Smile

It's me again, I'm just wondering, if it is a yeast infection, how does the doctor know??




Hey babe,

I know it sounds kinda awkward right now because you've never done it, but trust me your doctor has seen it ALL. I've heard a lot of girls saying like, "If the doctor has to look down there, forget it. It's too weird." But honestly if it itches and it's a yeast infection, it'll feel so much better once you're done with this - it's so worth calling the doc. Anyway, the doc will use a swab (looks like a cotton swab) "down there," which doesn't hurt at all. It's super quick - she basically gets a sample of the discharge down there, then she can test it for yeast levels. I'm not a doctor so I don't know exactly how that works, but she'll come back and tell you yes or no in minutes! Smile

sometimes it does itch 'down there" and it's not always on the outside... but deeper. I've never had sex or worn a tampon (though i have had my period). What could this be, and how can i stop it?? please answer, thank you Smile




Hey girlie,

Since it itches "down there" and inside, it's most likely a yeast infection. (Especially if it comes with a more chunky discharge.) Since this is the first time you've experienced this, you should DEFINITELY tell your mom/guardian and make an appointment at your doctor's office. Once they confirm it's a yeast infection, they'll probably give you a pill and/or cream to relieve the itch and cure the infection Smile And then you'll be back to normal!

MOD MOD MOD!!!! I don't know what's going on down there! I've had lower back cramping and Mood swings but every once in a while I will..itch and just the other day i got a lot of thin discharge. I am so confused! Please help!

 

That sounds like some signs of your period. I would stock up on tampons and pads and be prepared for what may come. xoxo kerra
