Does a yeast infection just go away?

Not all yeast infections will go away on their own.  If you have a yeast infection, go to wal-mart or your pharmacy and get Monistat 7.  This has to be used at night when you go to bed.  If the yeast infection is not cleared up after you have compleated using ALL of the Monistat 7, then you need to go to your doctor as it could be something more seriouse that is wrong.

im assuming youre a woman...if it is a yeast infection you should go get a treatment, monistat works well, or if its just irritation just get some vagisil cream...it makes the itch go away.  either way, if it doesnt go away in 7 days go see a doctor, they can tell you what you have and how to treat it.

Possibly, I had a yeast infection and it went away by itself, I was in college and too poor to spend the moolah on the cream.  \nI think u were diagnosed wrong, YOU did not have CHLAMYDIA!!\nChlamydia will not go away by itself. There is a cure, and chlamydia is easy to treat. Certain antibiotics are used to kill chlamydia bacteria. Both sex partners must be treated at the same time to prevent re-infection.\n\nIf left untreated, chlamydia can cause sterility in women and men. Chlamydia is the most common and most invisible sexually transmitted bacterial infection in the U.S. Chlamydia is spread through vaginal and anal sex, from the birth canal to the fetus, and rarely from the hand to the eye or through oral sex.\n\nHope this information helps!

Go see the doctor.  It is probably not a yeast infection.

If it happens more than twice in 6 months you need to see a doctor i'm afraid. You might need a oral fluconazole and then low dose fluconazole over 7 days to make sure its gone, plus pessaries to work directly at the site.

what are you using? monistat? if so and its not working, you have a different kind of yeast infection. ask for the pill that gets rid of yeast infections, i can't remember the name, but they will know what you are talking about. it works like a charm. monistat doesn't work on all types of yeast infections. on the rare occassion that i get one the pill is the only thing that will work for it, because I don't get the common one. If that doesn't work try using a different soap down there. you might be sensitive to the kind of soap that you use, try summers eve intimate cleanser, it is very gentle and made for that area.

A yeast infection in the lady you ate out doesn't mean there is something wrong with her or you esp. if you say you didn't know.\nIf your mouth gets white on the inside like in the cheeks and the tongue you'll know.\nBabies get yeast infections.\nYeast infections and bladder infections is normal woman thing.

I assume your mean vaginally? Don't worry about it. Its and indicator of your body being fertal. Basically its your hormones during your normal cycle getting ready should your have sex. that discharge is mucus that your body makes to help sperm go where they are supposed to go. It will lessen in a few days. There just shouldn't be any oder. If thats the case you may have a yeast infection. hope this helps. read up on the body's hormone cycle. Every woman should know about their body

You can try an over-the-counter treatment like Monistat if you KNOW it is a yeast infection and have had them before and treated them successfully.\n\nHowever, going to the doctor is really the best way to deal with something like this.  Yeast infections happen because of imbalances in the vagina and should really be evaluated by a doctor.\n\nI just submitted this answer and went back to read other people's answers that came in while I was typing.  One poster suggested a feminine wash.  Do NOT NOT NOT do this!  Douches are very bad for you and can cause further problems.  They will NOT cure the problem and will make it worse!  Further, that person said antibiotics will kill the yeast.  This is NOT true!  In fact, antibiotic usage can actually CAUSE yeast infections.

Most women associate a thick discharge that looks like cottage cheese with the Candida bug, although only about 20% experience it. If it is present, the discharge may either have a starchy odor to it, or perhaps none at all, and its color can vary from white to a more yellowish tinge. \n\nSince not everyone gets the discharge, the easiest way for a woman to tell that she has a yeast infection is that she itches in and around her vagina. A lot. The itchiness may be accompanied by a burning sensation, and her vulvar area can be red and swollen. It may also burn or be generally painful for her to urinate, and sex may become painful as well. A good way to distinguish the burning on urination that is due to a yeast infection vs. a urinary tract infection is to pay close attention to exactly when the burning starts and stops. With yeast, the burning is due to acidic urine hitting the irritated skin of the vulva, so the burning starts when the urine reaches the outside. With urinary tract infection, the burning is felt as the urine passes down the tube on its way out. \n\nWhile these are the general symptoms of a yeast infection, every woman may experience one differently. She may identify an infection by the smell and consistency of the discharge, which can be unique to her. However, certain symptoms definitely do not go along with a simple yeast infection, and they may indicate that something more serious is going on. For example, if she is feverish or is experiencing pelvic pain, these are definitely indications that she ought to see her doctor in order to receive a proper diagnosis and medical care.

Sounds like thrush. It's a yeast infection. It's curable.

I've heard cranberry juice can actually help prevent yeast infections, but is actually used to help cure urinary infections.  My doctor told me that eating yogurt can help a yeast infection, but doesn't always cure it.  I guess it's worth a shot to try it though.  Someone also told me once that hydrogen peroxide will kill yeast and help flush it out of your body, but I never tried it as you aren't supposed to doushe while you have an infection as it could make it worse.  I'd try the yogurt but in the end, you may end up spending as much on yogurt as you would a $15 or less tube of cream to cure the problem.

I believe it is a yeast infection. It is caused when the levels good bacteria for your body are low and this allows yeast to grow since that bacteria fight it off. Check out the site under sources for more info, but I know it can be caused by antibiotics.

A yeast infection can be commonly known and "thrush"\nYou may have this infection in your mouth, anus or vagina.\nif you have thrush in the vagina you can be very itchy, inflammed and have a whitish discharge that can be thick or runny.\n\nThere are many reasons for the infection it is best to have it checked out by your doctor.\nSometimes after having antibotics the bodies immune system can be out of whack and you can get the infection.\nDon't be embarrassed it is not uncommon.\n\nGo see your doctor for some help as it can be quite uncomfortable.

Home remedy wise...\nI've heard garlic (no honestly) LOL up the yoohaw woks for yeast, and works like a charm for the pain and discomfort. \n[[[Garlic\n\nGarlic contains natural anti-fungal substances that kill off yeast and should be added to the diet.  It may also be used internally.\n\nMethod\n\n    * Wrap an unpeeled clove of garlic in gauze or cheesecloth tying the ends with unwaxed dental floss, leaving a bit of string dangling to pull it out afterward\n    * Leave it in for several hours at a time\n    * Use nightly until after symptoms cease\n\n ]]]]\nBut you need something prescription to actually CURE the infection, if not it's just going to keep on coming back and with a vengeance.\nAlso natural yogurt helps, both by inserting into the vagina and also by eating it, no not after..I mean fresh yogurt LMAO\n\n\nMyself I've used Monistat 3 day, it cures and helps itch and burning, some also comes with an external  cream.\n\nBelow is an AWESOME link for you, don't let the name scare ya. LOL\n\nGoodluck.. :) YI are the devil.
