A member asked:

How does a girl get a yeast infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very common: Several causes. Excessive moisture from perspiration (heat, exercise and leotards) is a frequent cause. It is easily treated with over the counter anti-fungal vaginal medication cream. If it is frequent, your blood sugar should be checked. Try a diet low in starch.
