Can You Get Rid of Yeast Infections without Treatment?

March 4, 2009 by  

Yeast infections will not simply go away without treatment. If you leave a yeast infection untreated, it may get worse. If you have a yeast infection around the genital area, and don’t get it treated it might turn into a urinary track infection. Urinary track infections are potentially harmful to your kidneys. The bottom line is, get it treated asap.

Yeast Infections Treatment

Yeast infections can be treated simply and effectively with a variety of over-the-counter medications. These antifungal medications come in various forms, including creams, ointments and suppositories. Various oral medications such as Diflucan or fluconazole and topical treatments may be prescribed by doctors to cure yeast infections. In some cases, your physician may prescribe medication in pill form.

Depending on the yeast infection cream or capsule, it will be used for one to seven days. Topical yeast infections treatment tend to work faster than oral antibiotics.

There are also a variety of homeopathic and natural yeast infections treatment available at health food stores or from a naturopath. Usually, a naturopath will prescribe treatments made from tea trea oil and acidophilus (the good bacteria found in yogurt).

You may choose to try plain, unsweetened, organic yogurt. Buy the yogurt and several bags of frozen, organic cherries, blueberries, or raspberries. Thaw the fruit and mix with the yogurt. It has been known to relieve yeast infections very effectively.

Believe it or not, cloves of garlic work too. Take one of the bulbs from the clove and peel all the skin off of it. Press your finger nails into the garlic very slightly so that some of the garlic juice leaks out. Apply gently to the infection. You may experience a slight burning sensation, but that will quickly go. Also as a preventative take lots of garlic pills and probiotic acidopholus pills everyday to prevent it from happening again.

Whatever treatment you choose, make sure you also have your sex partner treated too. And refrain from sex as long as the infection is present, because your partner can get it and give it back to you as quickly as you make it go away.

Can You Become Resitant to Yeast Infections Treatment?

Overuse of antifungal medications can increase the chance that they will eventually not work (the fungus develops resistance to medications). Therefore, it is important to be sure of the diagnosis before treating with over-the-counter or other antifungal medications.

    Strongly suggest you go see a General Internist soonest. After two years you should not be having this type of prolonged pain. If the Internist cannot help you, then who would he/she recommend what kind of medical specialist you should see. Too long for this pain to go on. For some people, symptoms may be like kidney stones but the back pain should be at or below the belt line, significant at first and lessening as the stone passes. Pain where you mention seems to indicate other problems. You might want go to the web site and see if you can find out more information about your medical condition.

    Silver not only treats (succesfully) over 650 disease causing pathogens, but Dr. Robert O Becker found out that it causes regeneration and healing of injured tissues within the body, including bone. It has also been shown to return cancer cells to normal. Colloidal Silver can most definately be used as not only a cancer treatment (probably the best and safest), but as a preventative mesure as well. You don’t have to have cancer to enjoy the benefits of colloidal silver.
