How long does it take to cure a yeast infection?
Although uncomfortable and itchy, if left untreated vaginal yeast infections will often clear up by themselves. This is most likely to happen when the vaginal pH is raised by the menstrual blood during menstruation. This higher pH kills the yeast cells. If the symptoms last past your next menstrual period, your best bet is to treat with an over-the-counter medication or see your doctor to make sure nothing else is causing the symptoms. When using topical creams and suppositories, you can use the one-time, 3-day or 7-day options, and symptoms should subside within 3-7 days.
