-Wash your vagina and anus every day with water only. When you go to the bathroom, wipe from your vagina to your anus. Keep the area cool by wearing cotton or cotton-lined underpants. Avoid tight pants and skip the pantyhose in hot season.

 

- Avoid douching. Although many women feel cleaner if they douche after menstruation or intercourse, it may actually worsen vaginal discharge because it removes healthy bacteria lining the vagina that protect against infection.

 

- Eat yogurt with live cultures or take Lactobacillus acidophilus tablets when you are on antibiotics to prevent a yeast infection.

 

- Use condoms to avoid catching or spreading sexually transmitted infection.

 

- Avoid using feminine hygiene sprays, fragrances, or powders in the genital area.

 

- Avoid wearing extremely tight-fitting pants or shorts, which may cause irritation.

 

- Wear cotton underwear or cotton-crotch pantyhose. Avoid underwear made of silk or nylon, because these materials are not very absorbent and restrict air flow. This can increase sweating in the genital area, which can cause irritation.

 

- Use pads and not tampons.

 

- Keep your blood sugar levels under good control if you have diabetes.
