Can a vaginal yeast infection go away on its own?

I have often heard women ask this question: “Can a yeast infection go away on its own?” The answer is “Yes”, but you can come back. The same thing happened to me a few years ago. I just ignored my problem and thought it would heal itself. It is true that the problem goes away although my itching and burning sensation lasted for about a month. I was suffering in silence and scratching like hell for that month. However, my problem got worse after 2 months later.

My second attack was very horrible. I was scratching my vaginal area vigorously. The worst part is that I have to control myself not to scratch in public as it is a very disgusting act in public. It may sound ridiculous that I scratched until my skin broke and bled, but what was happening to me at that moment is a real fact.

I felt a burning sensation and pain when urinating and had to expel the urine very gently. She believed that people with yeast infections should be able to understand how I felt. I also didn’t have sex with my husband because he was afraid of giving him the infection.

There was also some discharge from my vagina that produced a very strong and unpleasant odor. Since I was too embarrassed to see a doctor, I decided to cure my yeast infection on my own and with a very natural method.

I surfed the net and found natural remedies like putting yogurt on the vaginal area to fight the infection as it will help kill the bacteria and finally I found this book Natural Cures for Yeast Infection by Sarah Summer. There were many natural remedies found in her book for quick relief from yeast infection in a matter of hours.
