We’ve found a few simple changes you can make to help keep thrush at bay.
For starters, avoid using perfumed products and deodorants around your intimate area, instead use water to wash your penis or vagina and make sure the area is properly dried after cleaning.
Taking showers instead of baths can help with this.
Wearing cotton underwear instead of synthetic materials can also help to prevent thrush, as can changing your underwear after swimming or working out.
If you have thrush, you may want to consider avoiding sex until the infection has cleared.
However, if you do choose to have sex, try using a condom to prevent your yeast infection spreading to your partner.
