How do I go about preventing a yeast infection?

Answer by  Thena (145)

Do not wear nylon underwear. Avoid petroleum based lubricants. Do not use harsh bath soap or body wash. Do not use perfumed products, especially avoiding perfumed toilet paper. Eat a cup of yogurt once daily.

While cleanliness is the most obvious of preventative methods for yeast infections, surprisingly what we eat has a great impact. Eat two or three servings of yogurt daily.
