How can I avoid getting another yeast infection?
To help prevent vaginal yeast infections, try the following:
- Don’t use douches.
- Avoid scented hygiene products like bubble bath, sprays, pads and tampons.
- Change tampons and pads often during your period.
- Don’t wear tight underwear or clothes made of synthetic fibers.
- Wear cotton underwear and pantyhose with a cotton crotch.
- Change out of wet swimsuits and exercise clothes as soon as possible.
If you have repeat yeast infections, talk to your doctor.
