Can a vaginal yeast infection last long for "years" without treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dr. Mark Lubienski answered

Yes: Chronic fungal infections signal underlying immune system problem or imbalance. Need to assess immune deficits, treat infection and adjust diet and medications and hygiene to regain immune control and suppress fungal overgrowth. May need probiotics and other supplements to bolster immune defenses.
