To help prevent vaginal yeast infections, you can try the following suggestions:
- Keep the external genital area clean and dry. - Avoid irritating soaps (including bubble bath), vaginal sprays and douches. - Change tampons and sanitary napkins frequently. - Wear loose cotton (rather than nylon) underwear that doesn't trap moisture. - After swimming, change quickly into your dry clothing instead of sitting in your wet bathing suit for prolonged periods. - Take antibiotics only when prescribed by your doctor, and never take them for longer than your doctor directs. - If you are diabetic, try to keep tight control over your blood sugar levels.
