How long does a yeast infection take to leave naturally?

Question

So I think I just got a yeast infection. My discharge is a little bit lumpy and downstairs is kinda itchy and it kinda hurts. So, how long will it take to go away naturally? Or do I absolutely need medication for it? Is there a cream for it or pills or something? It's awkward for me.. I'm in middle school, and I don't really know what to do.  It's really bugging me, and I want it to leave. Thanks!

Answer

You can go to a Walmart and get a 7 day treatment kit for it. They are right next to where the tampons and pads are. I'm 19 and I have had a few over the last couple years very easy to treat on your own. No need for antibotics or a trip to the doctor

Answer

If you have plain yogurt that can help with temporary itching relief.  I used to get them all the time no worries it is natural and could happen due to a variety of reasons.  I was embarrassed at first asking my doctor for the 5th script for yeast infection.  So I did some research. You can get them from the pool the chlorine can knock off your ph balance. Drinking lots of beer.  Taking antibiotics.  Using a dirty towel. Sexual activity with a new partner. The list goes on but there are things you can do to maintain your ph balance down there. You could eat plain yogurt or put it down there to help with itching. Take probiotics helps as well. And if you don't get relief the you can go to any drug store or grocery store and get monistat.

Noooo go to the doctor! I thought I could leave mine when I had it a year ago, and I was drinking lots of water and cranberry and I went to the chemist to buy tablets but it only got worse and worse. I started to vomit and I finally went to the doctor and had to be one antibiotics for 2 weeks. She said that if I left it any longer, the infection would have spread creating further problems. 
Good luck Hun. I hope you feel better soon! Dont let it get any worse! 💗

Answer

Go to the chemist. Ask to talk to the chemist. Ask can I have thrush medication and the cream. That's it :) there's absolutely no age limit and it's not embarrassing. All girls no matter what age will experience thrush one time or another. It's as common as a cold and that's the way chemists treat it.

Don't not do anything it'll cause more pain and discomfort and spread. The best thing is to do what I stated above. If your infection is taking longer to go away so more than a week, then buy some probiotics at the chemist (you don't need a prescription either) they are a little pricier but worth it. If you feel concerned talk to your mother, or female you trust to help you if you don't have any money or are too embarrassed to go to the chemist. It's all over the counter so don't freak out.
