i'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you. i've been very busy with school starting back & all.
honestly i'm not so sure about your question so don't quote me on what i'm going to tell you. from what i've heard, 2 different things can happen from an untreated yeast infection. here's what i've heard:
a yeast infection eventually goes away but it always requires some sort of treatment to reduce the amount of yeast. this may involve frequent washing, cleaning, or whatever. [don't douche; it's bad for you] if you don't clean yourself very often, the burning symptoms can be fairly intense.
but i've also heard that if a yeast infection goes untreated, you can have pregnancy complications or problems with the results of a pap smear. some even say if you leave it untreated, there is a higher risk for HIV or other stds.
So to be on the safe side, if you think you have a yeast infection, go to the doctor. it's the safest and most practical thing to do. it happens to everyone, at least 1 person has some sort of vaginal infection in there lifetime. go get it checked out.
