Do you think it is reasonable to wait...?

Question

about a week and a half to see if my yeast infection clears up on its own? My mom already knows i think i have one, and she talked to the pharmacist today, they said either go to the doctor or see if it clears up on its own. From what I read it doesn't sound like it will, but is that a reasonable time to wait? It feels like it is getting better. maybe it is?

Answer 1

my mother always taught me problems like this wont just disapear, talk to someone and go to the doctors, theyll give you antibiotics..or go to the chemist and buy thrush treatment or something..

no need to sit there and suffer.

Answer 2

Okay honestly a yeast infection will go away on it's own. (Usually) But it takes a long time. I'd suggest going to plan parenthood and asking  for them to check you out. They will and give you something for it. It goes away reasonably quickly and it will be gone for a long time.

You get them because you're wet around your v****a. So if you are constantly whipping your underwear off when you go to the bathroom of the white residue find a way  to prevent it, like wearing a light pad. Hope I helped a little.

Answer 3

go to the doctor! get some antibiotics to kill the infection.

good luck

Answer 4

wait a few more days and if it hasn't cleared then get some meds for it. if you let it go unchecked for too long it could cause a urinary infection.  

Answer 5

I wouldn't wait. you can get Monistat over the counter to try and see if that clears it up. It could get REALLY painful in a week and a half...I would try something over the counter
