Yes. Yeast infections can be caused if you keep your underwear on to long without changing it, or if you don't change you pads/tampons often enough. To prevent a yeast infection. Remember to change your underwear at least every day, and change your pads/tampons every 2-6 hrs. Signs of a yeast infection can be discolored discharge. Regular discharge is normal, but if it smells or is a strange color like yellow, green, or gray, it's not regular and there could be a problem.
There is no fool proof method to completely prevent yeast infections for women. There are however two ways to lower the risk or contracting one. One, wear cotton underwear, which keeps the groin area drier than other types. Also, avoiding feminine sprays or douches also help as those products change female body chemistry.
