Hygienic Measures To Stop Yeast Infection

Many people who are suffering from the pains of yeast infection are going about their daily lives very uncomfortably. You wouldn’t be surprised if these people go to extensive lengths just to find something that would help in alleviating the discomfort and physical pain of Candida.

As the old adage goes, prevention is better that cure. If you have always put a premium on your health, you wouldn’t be suffering from yeast infection to begin with. Here are some things you can do to prevent being infected by or any recurrence of this menace.

You must ditch your underwear that are made of synthetic materials like polyester and nylon. These materials aren’t recommended as they hinder the flow of air in your private area. This makes it possible for the yeast cells to proliferate. If you ever need to wear pantyhose, opt for one which has a cotton panel since it can absorb moisture efficiently as you sweat. Avoid using panty liners since they are known to be one of the leading causes of yeast infection. If you badly need to wear them, at least opt for ones that say “breathable” on the packaging.

Ill-fitting shorts and pants are also a major no-no. This kind of clothing paves way for more sweating. Always remember that yeasts thrive in moist and damp environment. Moreover, borrowing personal things, like pieces of clothing, from other people has never been and will never be a good practice. This could only predispose you to catching an infection. Also, see to it that everything you are wearing is clean.

When you’re cleaning your southern region, see to it that you’re following a front-to-back pattern, or else you will end up transferring the germs from your anal area to your vagina. More to these, steer clear of bubble baths and scented sanitary napkins as they normally have harsh chemicals that could disturb the normal pH down there. Also, douching should be avoided since they tend to dry up your vaginal mucous, which then damages the inner membrane. When this happens, it’s a yet another ground for yeast infection thriving. And it causes severe itching, as well as discomfort and pain as you have sexual intercourse.

All of these basic hygienic measures may sound, well, basic. However, they sure do the trick. Heed these tips and avoid the troubles that Candida brings.
