Prevention seems to be the best thing you can do. I've never had a yeast infection. I know, I'm a lucky gal. Learning from sisters & friends I've come up with these tips;
1)Acidolpholus. If you are taking antibiotics take it in capsules or eat a cup of yogurt daily.
2)Limit baths. this is one thing I avoid myself. I don't care for them. I'd rather shower quick & get on with my day. Biggest culprit here....bubble bath. Avoid at all costs.
3)Wear cotton undies. Let your kitty breathe.
4)Go commando in the night.
5)Wash hands before you go to the bathroom as well as after. A coworker mentioned that when she worked in a bakery (yeast!) she got infections frequently.
6)Give your laundry an extra rinse. Skip the fabric softener or use something fragrance & dye free.
7)Don't douche. Your body knows how to keep itself clean. You'll disturb the natural bacterial flora & leave yourself open to yeast infection.
8)Get sleep & avoid stress. Being run down weakens your immune system.
