I think it is, but it depend on how bad it is. If you've never had one before, you should go to the doctor to make sure thats what it is. There are treatments you can do at home that don't involve those powerful anti-fungal treatments. They sound gross, but apparently totally work.
-Insert unpasteurized, plain yogurt with a small spoon or spatula or vaginal cream applicator (and empty tampon applicator works too) In must be PLAIN, no added sugar, no fruit. Insert at night and wear a pad. Repeat for three to seven nights, until symptoms disappear. Douching with yogurt and water can help, too. It also helps to eat a lot of yogurt.
-"Paint" the vagina, cervix (you'll need a speculum) and vulva (outside area including the labia or "lips" of vagina) with gentian violet. It stains so you'll want to wear a pad. This usually works after one treatment.
-Insert a garlic suppository. Carefully peel one clove of garlic. Wrap in gauze and insert into the vagina. Leave in for up to twelve hours. Repeat as necessary. It also helps to eat a lot of garlic.
-Drink cranberry juice. Unsweetened is best.
-Insert Potassium Sorbate. This is used in home beer-making and can be found at wine-making stores. Dip a cotton tampon into a 3% solution (15 grams of Potassium Sorbate in one pint of water) and insert into the vagina at night. Remove in the morning.
-Drink or eat Acidophilus. It's available in powder or capsules in health food stores or found in some milk and yogurt products. (Read the label; some dairy products have added acidophilus.)
-Douche with a vinegar/water solution. One tablespoon of vinegar to one quart of water, once a day. Especially effective when used with yogurt suppositories.
Hope any of those helps!

Yes, but... why would you want not to treat a yeast infection? They really suck. If you are shy or unable to afford a doctor visit, the over-the-counter remedies in the tampon aisle at the store like Monistat will clear it up in a few days.
If you really don't want to take medications, I attach a link for "natural" remedies which many women have had luck with.

I'm not sure, but i do know if left untreated it can get really bad. If you've never had a yeast infection, it's best to see a doctor, but otc treatments do work.

NO... It has to be treated. Yeast infections give you no PEACE until you treat it.... Try Monistat, drink cranberry juice and see your doctor

eat yogurt..and will go away....in the morning and in the evening.
More yogurt better. And if you eat it during antibiotics treatments you will never have it.
