   your body will naturally cure it but it can take a lot longer than if you were on anitbiotic. it is just easier to call your doctor and let them now and they will usually call in a prescription for you.

   no
   If I was you I would go to the doctor and get some medication for it to clear it up there is a pill you can take for it to clear it up or the cream so good luck to you

   Sure it can clear up (more like lay dorment) but it’ll be back. Fortunately here in Canada we dont have to see the Dr anymore for simple yeast infection.
   Monistat, Canesten etc…all available without prescription now, thank God.
   East some PLAIN yogurt….bacteria culture supposed to aid in curing yeast infections

   You don’t need an antibiotic prescription for a yeast infection. It’s not safe to leave this infection untreated, not to mention very uncomfortable! The easiest way to clear a yeast infection is to use the at-home treatments that you can buy in any drug or grocery store (i.e Canesten), but only if you have had this infection before and are sure that’s what it is, otherwise definitely see your doctor. There are 1, 3 and 5 day treatments available, and either will work fine. Just remember that if you’re sexually active while having a yeast infection, the infection can be passed on to your partner so it’s best to wait until you are doneof the treatment and everything is clear. Hope this helps!

   You don’t need drugs to clear up your yeast infections cause they will just re occur. Go to a herbal store and get a candida cleanse. As a matter of fact taking antibiotics causes candida which is a yeast overgrowth. Take a candida clanse and it will not reoccur. Do a search on candida cleanse and see for yourself.
