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.
If you have a small child whom you think may be experiencing a yeast infection, take her to a doctor immediately for treatments and testing.
