can you get a yeast infection from stress? I have been under an enormous amount of stress and anxiety lately- and now I think I have all the symptoms of a yeast infection-

Hi serinas_mom, welcome!
Stress can cause your body to do some strange things. Anything that upsets your vaginal ph can cause a YI so who’s to say stress (or its effects like heavily perspiring) can't? A good article on vaginal yeast infections is: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001511.htm If you have had YIs before and know that is what you have then you can probably treat it yourself. If not it would be a good idea to have your doctor verify what the problem is so you will be using the right med for treatment. I hope you’re feeling better soon. Thanks for posting. Please come back and let us know how you’re doing, ok?
Good luck,
Jill

That's wonderful! Yes, be sure to finish your meds so you know you're over it.
