How To Prevent Yeast Infection

75% of all women will experience at least one yeast infection during her lifetime, often times this infection is recurent. So the simple fact that 3 out of every 4 women will experience this in their life, one of the safest ways to reduce your risk of this happenening to you is to practice some of these techniques.

Difficulty: Easy

Time It Takes: 5 minutes

Here's How:

Wear white cotton panties. Lycra and Nylon usually traps air and creates a breeding-ground for yeast. Wearing cotton panties will help to reduce the risk of yeast over growth. Never wear panty-hose by itself -- It is highly recommended to wear cotton panties underneath.

Don't Ever use petroleum-based lubricants as lubrication during sexual intercourse; don't be cheap always use water-based lubricants when dryness during intercourse is a problem.

I'm sure this is well know but people just simply forget, but always wipe from front to back after a bowel movement to prevent yeast which normally present in the intestinal tract from being transferred to the vaginal area.

Eating a cup of yogurt a day also helps some women prevent the possibility of having a yeast infection that often follows antibiotic treatment; however, many believe that this cures yeast infection but it doesn't.

Perfumed bath products or powders should not be used in the vaginal area, these can cause irritations and increase the risk or likeliness of an infection.

Don't use douches! Many use this for treating yeast infection, but Douches actually washes away the natural protective mucous of the vagina, making the vaginal area more susceptible to a yeast or other vaginal infections.

Tips:

Before a yeast infection occurs decide if you prefer prescription or over-the counter (OTC) treatment.

At the first sign of yeast infection be sure to call your physician for prescribed medication, or go to your pharmacy to buy one of the FDA approved products that are available OTC.

What doesn't affect you leave it alone, in other words never self-treat a yeast infection unless you have previously been diagnosed for a yeast infection by a healthcare professional.

Always contact your healthcare professional for diagnosis if you are not sure that the subsequent infection is yeast. Other vaginal infections such as STDs may have similar symptoms.
