Can yeast infection clear up naturally or does it need to be medicated?

May clear up on own: In persons with intact immune systems yeast infections are temporary imbalances in the body's ecology often triggered by antibiotics taken for an infection. Over time & with return to health intestinal bacteria reassert their dominance & yeast levels decrease. This process can be hastened by adding probiotics or antifungal drugs. Persons with diabetes or immunodefiency may have persistent problems.

Yes: Some yeast infections clear up after moisture is taken away or antibiotics are stopped. Deep seeded infections (i.E toenails) may need topical or systemic medication.
