Do yeast infections go away without treatment?
On One Hand: Infections need treatmentThe Department of Health and Human Services notes that yeast infections are caused by an “overgrowth of the fungus Candida albicans.” While the infection can be treated with over-the-counter medications, the condition should not be ignored due to the nature of the symptoms and the discomfort suffered by the patient.On the Other: Symptom severityThere is a possibility that a very mild yeast infection will clear up on its own, according to WebMD.com. If the symptoms do not cause burdensome pain or discomfort, you can choose to wait a few days to see if your body will overcome the infection on its own.Bottom LineAny infection, even a relatively mild fungal infection, should be treated to prevent the condition from worsening.
