A yeast infection occurs when you experience a disruption to your vaginal microbiome that allows Yeast (usually Candida albicans) to begin growing out of control. Sex, your menstrual cycle, or antibiotics can be common triggers and lead to uncomfortable itching and white, chunky discharge. If you're experiencing these symptoms, you already know you don't want to wait to find out how long a yeast infection lasts without treatment. OTC yeast infection treatments can be effective, but if you find yourself dealing with recurrent yeast infections, you may need a prescription yeast infection treatment pill, like Fluconazole.
