What Is a Yeast Infection?
7. Prevention
We can’t reduce the likelihood of us getting a yeast infection to zero, but we can still significantly reduce that likelihood. This tends to involve certain lifestyle choices that are usually easy to change. For example, having very hot baths can affect the balance of microorganisms in the vagina.
It is also a good idea to change out of wet clothing as soon as possible. Some feminine hygiene products can also cause problems, particularly those that are scented. Maintaining good hygiene where tampons and pads are concerned is also a good idea. Douches should also be avoided, and antibiotics should only be used when necessary.
