WHAT CAN I DO TO AVOID A YEAST INFECTION?
Anything that changes the normal environment of the vagina can lead to vaginal infections. If you get a lot of them, these suggestions may help:
Wear cotton underwear. Don't wear pantyhose if possible. Don't use tampons with deodorant in them. Don't use anything around the vagina that's perfumed or has a print on it, even toilet paper. Use a gentle, nondrying soap. Avoid harsh laundry detergents.
