Preventing the Cause of Yeast Infection

There are a few things you can do to help prevent yeast infections. Don't use douches, perfumed vaginal sprays, or other scented products that can irritate the vagina. Wear cotton underpants and pantyhose with a cotton crotch to help keep the genital area ventilated. If you have a problem with recurring yeast infections, ask your healthcare provider about other ways to prevent them.
