Answer 2

Answer 3

It will cause serious problems in that area as well as spread to other areas. I would definately have it checked out. You could of damaged something by not treating it

Answer 4

I didn't realize you could have a yeast infection for that long. i've had small ones that have gone away on their own, because it was caused my me taking antibiotics, and some that have been so bad I could not sit. if you have itching and burning for six months straight, and it hasn't gotten so bad you didn't see a doctor, maybe it's not a yeast infection...? I don't know the long term affects of a yeast infection, but anything you have lasted that long, it's serious. You don't wanna mess with the balance you have going on down there.  

Answer 5

IT is not going to go away without treatment and an accurate diagnosis is necessary.It can only get worse, can cause somewhat painful intercourse and general discomfort. Don't ever let a medical problem go 6 months with out a check up. It may be possible your partner needs to be treated, depending on the exact diagnosis. Do not go to a pharmacy,because you may have something that needs a different treatment. Go for a check up. Now, don't worry, you probably need a medication decided by the doctor and the results of cultures he may take.
