Are yeast infections permanent?

FAQ

No, yeast infections are not permanent. Yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of yeast in the body, and can be treated with antifungal medications. The duration of treatment and the type of medication used may vary depending on the severity of the infection and the individual’s medical history.

It is important to note that while yeast infections are not permanent, they can recur if the underlying conditions that caused the infection are not addressed. Factors that can contribute to recurrent yeast infections include poor hygiene, weakened immune system, hormonal changes, and certain medications.

If you experience recurring yeast infections, it is important to speak with a healthcare professional to identify and address any underlying issues. In some cases, lifestyle changes, such as practicing good hygiene and avoiding certain foods, may help prevent future infections.
