Greetings everyone! My name is Ashley. I have dealt with yeast infections for many years. Over the years I have learned a lot about yeast infections and how to prevent them. With this article, I am going to share my experiences and talk about my personal top 5 ways to prevent a yeast infection. These tips have helped me tremendously and I hope they help you as much as they have helped me. Now, let’s get right to the list!
1. Take A Bath!
This may sound like a silly tip, but taking a bath frequently is the top tip that I have learned over the years in preventing yeast infections. With a bath you can get yourself extra clean. However, you need to make sure to dry yourself off after your bath thoroughly. Yeast can really develop in areas that are damp. So make sure you are completely dry after your shower.
2. Fresh Air
Try to get your vagina some fresh air. No, this doesn’t mean you should walk around the world naked! But try wearing cotton underwear or going to bed some nights without any underwear. Fresh air is one of the best things that will prevent a yeast infection. In fact, try to avoid wearing any tight clothing all together. This includes really tight jeans.
3. Change Your Diet
This may sound silly, but it has been shown that eating one cup of yogurt a day can infact help prevent yeast infections. Yet another reason why yogurt is great to eat, right? However, if you are already dealing with a yeast infection, yogurt isn’t going to make it go away. Sorry!
4. Use Regular Toilet Paper
Many people that deal with yeast infections find that they aren’t always using plain toilet paper. By plain, I mean, regular toilet paper that isn’t scented. Scented toilet paper may sound good, but do you really want that scent going on your body? Remember, there has to be something on that toilet paper for it to be scented toilet paper. Stay away from scented toilet paper!
5. Less Sugar!
This has been debated, but many people swear that eating less sugar has helped them with yeast infections. Other people insist though that there is no connection between the amount of sugar intake and yeast infections. It’s possible that it simply depends on the person. That’s why I recommend trying this tip out for yourself and seeing how successful it is for you. Perhaps it will help you as much as it helped me!
With that, I hope this list of my 5 top tips to prevent a yeast infection has helped. If you are dealing with frequent yeast infections, then it’s possible that you may need to see a doctor. It’s also possible that in the end these tips just won’t help. This would be yet another reason to go and see a doctor. However, for dealing with the occasional yeast infection, you can’t go wrong with preventing them with these 5 tips. Stay clean!
