While you may not be able to totally eliminate your yeast infection risk factors, there are many simple things you can do that will stop the overgrowth of Candida which can lead to an infection.
Preventing yeast infections isn't as difficult as you might think, here are some simple things to keep in mind: First of all you need to understand that yeast infections are caused when the Candida albicans in your body, which is always present, becomes overgrown.
That overgrowth can lead to an infection.
One thing that can cause the Candida to become overgrown is using antibiotics.
Since your body has both good bacteria and bad bacteria it's important that the good and bad stay in balance.
Unfortunately, antibiotics can't distinguish between the two and will kill off both types of bacteria.
When that happens it'll allow the Candida to grow unchecked and possible lead to an infection.
You also have to make a hostile growing environment for the Candida.
You want to avoid wearing any clothing that creates a warm moist environment in which to grow.
Don't wear any synthetic clothes and don't spend hours hanging around in a damp swimsuit.
Stay away from using perfumes and dyes for your personal care products since they can disrupt the bodies pH balance and allow the Candida to grow unchecked.
While I can't possibly cover all the information you need to know for preventing yeast infections, this list will give you a great starting point.
Don't forget to always be proactive when it comes to your health and work in conjunction with your doctor.
