Hi.
I've gone through your query and I can understand your anxiety.

Usually yeast infection spreads through sexual intercourse & also stress plays a major role.

Women who tend to take poor diet, compromised immune system leading to diseases like diabetes and HIV infection, sleep deprived, illness etc are at high risk.

I would advice you to,
1. Maintain good hygiene and wash your vagina with soap warm water regularly.
2. Avoid feminine products
3. Use soft cotton undergarments
4. Candid B V gel is very effective for yeast infection & will be cured in 7 - 14 days.
5. Also have a vaginal swab test done.
6. Keep yourself stress free.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
