Q&A: What harm can come from a yeast infection?

Question by bakedtatah: What harm can come from a yeast infection?
I’ve had a yeast infection for almost a month, and i’ve tried several things to get rid of it. But nothing.
Is it bad to leave it untreated? Its not itchy and it doesn’t hurt.. Its just the discharge and cotton cheese look to it. (sorry tmi)
Any answers are very much appreciated

Leaving it would cause quite a lot of discomfort. If you have tried using anti-yeast preparations but they have not worked then there is a chance that it is not thrush that you have. You could have another infection. The best thing would be for you to see your Doctor. He will take swabs and then provide treatment accordingly.

Most yeast infections are caused by Candida albicans. However, 1 in 10 bouts of thrush are caused by other strains of Candida such as Candida glabrata. This type of thrush may not respond to the usual anti-thrush medicines. If this is the case, your Doctor can give you appropriate treatment.
