Okay first off.
I’m 15, i havent had sex in my life (Save it for marriage), my grandma is taking me to the doctor because i most likely have a yeast infection.
First question: Is it contagious? Like can my family get it by ME just being around them?
Second Question: Is it a STD/STI?
Third Question: Whats the difference between Yeast infection bumps and blisters?
And these are my symptoms.
- My vaginal area is itchy and also red
- I have a white discharge, it doesnt have an odor, almost looks like cottage cheese.
- I have bumps by my vaginal lips that i found today (looks like blisters) Yes i used a mirror, i was scared it was genital herpes, but im not sexually active so thats not it.
- I’m also itchy AROUND my vagina.
- It SOMETIMES burns when i pee, or i have a difficult time, and it gets really annoying.
Just to be sure. Do you think i could have a Yeast infection, or a STD/STI ?
And can you get a STI/STD when your not sexually active?
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION!
What do the doctors do when they see if you have a yeast infection?
Please, do they have to look down there? obviously yes, but what else do they do?
Girls: No i dont wear thongs, YUCK! and that girl who said "ew" its common for females to get it, so you’ll most likely get it in your life time. GOOD LUCK!
Don’t worry. That is a yeast infection for sure, and it is totally fine. I used to get them all the time, and I’m 15 too. At first, I freaked out too because I had no idea what the hell was going on.
They might check down there with a Q-tip or something, but probably not if you just describe it. They’ll probably give you a medication, probably just a pill, and then after you take it, the infection goes away after a day or two. 
Thank goodness.. yeast infections are the worst! So uncomfortable. Oh and no, not contagious at all, unless you have sex, but you already covered that.
