A member asked:
Had a yeast infection... didnt get it treated but symptoms went away after a couple days, can they cure themselves?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes indeed: We all carry yeasts on our skin and inside our body (intestines, genital, mouth, etc). A "yeast infection" doesn't mean you recently caught it, only that natural yeasts have grown more or your immune system responded more vigorously to them. Therefore, symptoms can come and go. If they return and are bothersome, see a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and treatment advice. But for now, no worries.
