short answer: yes.
Yeast infections are caused by an imbalance in the body: poor eating habits, weak immune system, wearing clothing too tight, heavy sweating, abnormal hormone levels, not wiping from the front to back when going to the bathroom, etc.
There are many causes for yeast infections and you can catch them at any age, though it is more common for women who have undergone puberty. Yeast can survive and any wet or warm area, thus, yeast can be found in other areas of the body like mouth and throat.
Additionally, women who suffer from Diabetes thyroid or gland conditions, and PCOS are more likely to have frequent or reoccurring yeast infections.

How do you tell when you have a yeast infection?
The number one sign of a yeast infection is itchiness. Normally you will have itching (that gets more severe at night), an odor, and a discharge. That is the norm; some women have yeast infections and may not have any symptoms. More importantly, those three symptoms can also be symptoms for other more serious conditions like chlamydia, gonorrhea, or trich. It is best to get a vaginal exam whenever you have any change in your vaginal area. Buying over the counter medication for what you 'think' may be a yeast infection can just mask over a more serious condition. Make an appointment to see a GYN as soon as possible, and remember the health department offers free exams.
