Yeast infections are an unfortunate reality for many women and yeast infection prevention is always something women should practice. There is a very delicate balance of pH and bacteria in a woman's vagina, and when this is altered, the bacteria begins to multiply, causing a yeast infection. There are some common causes for this unbalance to occur and some easy ways to prevent yeast infections by avoiding these same causes, some of which can be easily remedied by simple behavioral changes and others which unfortunately are harder to avoid.
There are some women who have to simply accept that a yeast infection may occur and find ways to treat the yeast infections quickly and effectively.
A few of the causes of yeast infections that can be remedied through simple behavioral changes are:
- Tight or poorly ventilated clothing - Investing in some higher quality 100% cotton underwear can help greatly. Also avoid extremely tight jeans or pants made out of synthetic, non-breathable fabrics like polyester.
- Wet or sweaty undergarments - Remove these items in favor of clean and dry undergarments as soon as possible after your swim or workout.
- Poor nutritional habits - Eating a lot of junk food and not drinking enough water will affect the balance of your entire body and can result in a yeast infection.
- Douching - This practice removes the healthy and normal bacteria from your body, disrupting it's balance. Perfumed hygiene sprays can have a similar effect. Washing daily with warm water is the best way to maintain good personal hygiene.
- Improperly wiping after using the toilet - Always wipe front to back rather than back to front.
There are also a number of causes of yeast infections that are unfortunately almost unavoidable. These include stress, the use of antibiotics, injuries causing stress on the body or weakness of the immune system, menopause, pregnancy, and any other hormonal changes in a woman's body, including their monthly menstrual cycle. Males who often do not have any symptoms and are unaware of the infection can pass it on to their sexual partners. This all the more reason why basic yeast infection prevention is so critical!
