A member asked:
How long should i expect a yeast infection to last? is it sexually transmitted?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No STD: Yeast infections in females are typically not considered sexually transmitted, although a ping-pong effect between partners may promote recurrent yeast infections. Most yeast infections, when treated, disappear within 24 hours. However, it depends on the strain of the yeast, and certain strains of yeast can be stubborn to treat.
