Change out of a wet bathing suit or damp exercise clothes as soon as possible. A dry environment is less likely to encourage the growth of yeast. Don t douche unless your doctor specifically tells you to do so. Douching may disturb the vaginal balance. Don t scratch if you can help it.
Scratching can cause more irritation and spread the infection.
Discuss with your physician any medication you are already taking. Certain types of medication can make your vagina more susceptible to infection. Eat nutritious meals to promote your general health.
