Do yeast infections go away on their own? Or does it need to be treated with a prescription?
Brief Answer:
Mild symptoms can go away without treatment.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Sorry for the long delay in my response.
Yes,fungal ( yeast) infection can go away by its own without treatment if symptoms are mild.
But reoccurance is also very common.
But severe infection with pelvic pain and fever should be treated properly otherwise it may cause future problem.
