...are there any other ways to treat one without getting treated by a doctor?? ..i heard before that they usually clear up over time on their own, but it just takes longer?...

yeast infections do not clear up on their on. you can try yogurt and eat that alot of the day and 100% cranberry juice but it has to be 100% or it wont work. If you dont notice any changes in the next few days got to walgreens and get monistat that is great for treating yeast infections!! it will burn itch and be kinda smelly and really red down their!! just try this it just might work for you!!

If you have a white thick discharge than you may have a yeast infection. Sometimes it will have a weird smell and itching. You can get a treatment over the counter called Monistat. This should work for you. There are also many other brands but this seems to do best. If for some reason it starts to burn you need to see a doctor, because you may have a severe infection that can't be treated with over the counter meds.

Symptoms of yeast infection include white cottage cheese like discharge that smells funny, itching and painful intercourse. Monistat 1 ovule insert works really well and you only have to use it one day , it also comes with itch cream. However, if you have never been diagnosed with a yeast infection by a doctor you should go to the doctor because it could be another more serious problem.

You can buy Monistat at any drugstore type place. It comes with directions. I only had one yeast infection and it itched like hell and created, um, white 'stuff' that showed up in my underwear. I contracted one from a reaction to antibiotics. Antibiotics are a common cause of yeast infections because it kills the 'good' bacteria in your body as well as the 'bad'. Your pH balance gets messed up so you end up with a yeast infection.

Itchy, raw skin, cottage cheese discharge.
But if you've never had one before, you should see a doctor just to be sure, since other conditions can look similar to yeast infections.
Yeast infections, SOMETIMES FOR SOME PEOPLE, clear up after menstration. Menstration serves to clear our the vaginal canal and the vulva. But it is far from a cure, and isn't reliable. It's much easier and less irritating to simply treat it.

Use monistat 7...anything lower such a monistat 1 or 3 might cause the infection to come ,back due to lack of treatment. I had one before and monistat 3 worked for a week and it came right back. The bacteria has to get use to the medication for a certain amount of time to stay away

Yeast infections usually follow anti-biotics, this kills good and bad bugs alike in your body. Go to a health store and get some Pro Biotics this will get the good bugs back in your system, to kill the yeast infection.

Call your doctor. There is a pill you can take, or go see the pharmacist and ask what cream they recommend. The store brand is just as good as the leading brand of yeast cream/you can't wait it out!..it won't just go away!..do it today!

Burning, itching, cottage cheese type discharge.
Buy over the counter Monistat 7, either cream or suppository.
