The time frame of a yeast infection will be different for everyone. The cause of your yeast infection, and where you have your yeast infection will determine how long it will take to cure yourself.

If your yeast infection is a vaginal yeast infection that has been caused by stress then it will be cured within a few days. This type of yeast infection can easily be cured with a natural treatment such as a tampon dipped in live yogurt then inserted into your vagina. It will also help if your stress has gone.

A more severe yeast infection that has been caused by continual use of antibiotics will take a lot longer to cure. This type of yeast infection is usually recurrent in your vagina, and could possibly have infected your intestines. An intestinal yeast infection can take months to cure depending on how long you've had the infection, and how long you have been taking the antibiotics.

An intestinal yeast infection/candidiasis will need to be cured from the inside of your body, and requires a complete diet change, and the use of natural anti fungals and probiotics.

If you're suffering from your first yeast infection then the sooner you discover the cause the faster you will cure yourself.
