Can I prevent a yeast infection?

Bikini Vaginal yeast infections occasionally return. But here are a few things you can do to help prevent another yeast infection:

Wear loose, natural-fiber clothing and underwear with a cotton crotch.
Limit how often you wear pantyhose or leotards.
Use your blow dryer on a low, cool setting to help dry your genital area after you bathe or shower and before getting dressed.
Wipe from front to back after using the toilet. This may help prevent the bacteria that normally live in your rectum from getting into your vagina.
Change out of wet swimsuits or other damp clothes as soon as you can.
Don't douche or use feminine hygiene sprays, deodorant sanitary pads or tampons, or bubble bath, and avoid using colored or perfumed toilet paper. These items seem to affect the balance of acidity of the vagina and can lead to symptoms of a yeast infection.
Avoid baths, hot tubs and whirlpool spas where hot water may contribute to bacteria.
Take AZO YEAST^®, an over-the-counter tablet, to relieve symptoms like itching and pain and help prevent future recurrences.
