It will go away on it’s own in two weeks or less. If it persists longer THEN you should see your doctor. Here is what you do: Use a warm wash cloth to GENTLY cleanse the vaginal area about 3 times a day. Get some panty liners (not pads) and always keep one on. Change about every hour or so. This will keep any discharge from further irritating your skin. Also, using wet wipes when you go to the restroom instead of toilet paper will be more soothing. Yeast infections usually are not serious and usually DO clear up on their own in a week or so.

From Merriam-Webster on-line:
1capitalized: a genus of parasitic fungi that resemble yeasts, produce small amounts of mycelium, occur especially in the mouth, vagina, and intestinal tract where they are usually benign but can become pathogenic, and have been grouped with the imperfect fungi but are now often placed with the ascomycetes.
I’m not a doctor but I believe it can only be cured with prescription medication, some kind of antibiotic cream.

Answer by Delicious K
If there is fertile cervical mucus then it should live 3-5 days. I don’t know how the yeast infection may affect it. My conclusion is that it won’t matter.

Will a yeast infection go away on its own?
Question by 0864213579: Will a yeast infection go away on its own?
I have a yeast infection and am also menstruating. I am pretty uncomfortable about using a suppository right now – will the infection clear up on its own or do I need to get medication? Also, is there a pill I can take or is the only option the suppository?
Best answer:
Answer by Diego
My advice is to see your DR soon.he or she will perform a pelvic exam, test the discharge and depending on the results, have you take a antifungal and or antibiotics to get rid of your symptoms. In the mean time I would avoid baths, hot tubs, spas, douching, and eat yogurt that contains lactobacillus. Lactobacillus is a type of “good” bacteria that’s common in your vagina. It may help reduce recurrent vaginal yeast infections. Hope this helps

Question by hngh: What if a yeast infection goes untreated?
i think i have a yeast infection, but im leaving tomorrow for 3 weeks to a foreign country, so what will happen in those 3 weeks? ive had it for maybe 5 days, but noticed only now.
and what over the counter products can i get that actually work?
Best answer:
Answer by jkregger
You need to try to get to the doctor. It’s very important that you do not leave a yeast infection untreated for 3 weeks. The symptoms may get worse. Also, you will be unfamiliar with where and how to receive medical treatment in this foreign country. It would be for the best to get a prescription to take care of it.

How to tell vaginal discharge from a yeast infection?
Question by Emma C: How to tell vaginal discharge from a yeast infection?
I have sometimes white and sometimes yellow but it doesn’t smell bad or like anything at all. I don’t know if it is a yeast infection or not but I am too embarrassed to tell my mom. I have had it for a while and I think it might be my period coming. Please help me!!! I am so worried
Best answer:
Answer by sokokl
Discharge for a yeast infection is usually clumpy like cottage cheese. Some women also will notice itching and redness.
Because you have had it for a while and aren’t noticing any other symptoms it does sound like your period could be coming soon.
I know you are embarrassed to tell your mom about this but she really needs to know about this so that she can help you keep an eye on the situation.

Answer by Larkin L
Could be your diet.
Vaginal yeast infections occur when new yeast is introduced into the vaginal area, or when there is an increase in the quantity of yeast already present in the vagina relative to the quantity of normal bacteria.
If you have diabetes mellitus or are pregnant or taking oral contraceptives (birth control pills) or antibiotics you may get an infection. The use of douches or perfumed vaginal hygiene sprays may also increase a woman’s risk of developing a vaginal yeast infection. Improper ventilation – say wearing nylons too long, tight pants, etc, can contribute to getting an infection.
Consider going on a yeast-free diet, no sugar (as sugar feeds yeast), no alcohol – so no cakes, candy, sweets, etc.
*Take Lots of acidophilus/probiotics or eat Unsweetened Yogurt
*Avoid tight jeans and other tight trousers
*Wear cotton underwear during the day
*Wear no underwear to bed
*Put a tsp of apple cider vinegar in a 6-8 ounce glass of water and drink it 2-3 times a day.

Can I go to a walk in clinic for a possible yeast infection?
Question by Me: Can I go to a walk in clinic for a possible yeast infection?
I have what seems to be a yeast infection but I want to be sure. Can I get treatment from a walk in clinic? Or do they typically not handle female pelvic problems?
I can’t go see a doctor because I have no insurance and I’m not positive that it’s a yeast infection so I want to makw sure it’s not something else.
Best answer:
Answer by Shadow
I work at a walk in clinic where we do pelvic exams. They can diagnose yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, and trichomonas (if they see it under the microscope). We can also take a sample of cervical mucus and send that to the lab to test for gonorrhea or chlamydia. And if you have any obvious lesions, can test for herpes. We do not do pap smears, prescribe birth control, or do any blood work for stds (like HIV).
