Nine tips to get rid of yeast infections forever

An estimated 75% of women deal with burning sensations, unpleasant smells, and weird-looking discharge at least once, if not more, a year. Yet most solutions only focus on treating the symptoms. Learn how to prevent yeast infections from happening in the first place.

Don’t treat the symptoms – prevent the problem!

If you’re a woman, you’ve probably had a vaginal yeast infection at least once. So, what did you do? You went with the prescribed treatment and stocked yourself up with expensive antibacterial soaps. It was uncomfortable, itchy and awkward, but eventually, you got over it. But then it happened the second, third and fourth time...

That’s when you realised that “treating the symptoms” wouldn’t get you anywhere. So, you wondered – was there a way to stop yeast infections once and for all? The answer is yes!

Nine tactics to prevent vaginal yeast infections

1. Limit sugar intake

Vaginal infections are usually caused by the fungus called Candida, which thrives on sugar but hates anti-inflammatory, acidic and fermented foods. Thus, you can inhibit its growth by eating a healthy diet full of probiotics.

2. Stay away from stress

We know that’s easier said than done. Still, know that stress significantly weakens your immune system and disrupts your hormonal balance, which can lead to the overgrowth of harmful bacteria.

3. Switch over to cotton underwear

Yeast flourishes in a warm and wet environment, created by unbreathable underwear (or swimsuits). So, opt for cotton lingerie instead of synthetic.

4. Wash your laundry at 60° or 90°

You should always wash your underwear at high degrees to kill any living yeast or bacteria. If you have an active infection, it’s also important to thoroughly clean your towels, bedding and clothes.

5. Don’t use aggressive detergents

It might be tempting to use fragrant laundry detergents and fabric softeners when you’re dealing with unpleasant smells from a vaginal yeast infection, but this could only worsen your troubles.

6. Use pH-friendly soaps

You probably already heard this one, but we can’t state this enough – only use hygienic products that match your natural vaginal pH. Look for soaps with a pH range between 3.8 and 4.5.

7. Take baths without the bubbles

You should also stay away from bubble baths as those soaps can disrupt your vaginal flora. Keep in mind that no cosmetic or hygienic product should ever enter your intimate parts - even accidentally!

8. Avoid lubes with sugars

Some lubricants contain sugars, such as glycerin or sorbitol, to make them more slippery, which may essentially feed vaginal yeast. Silicone-based lubes are a better alternative.

9. Be cautious about your medications

We can’t tell you to toss away your antibiotics or contraceptives, but you should keep in mind that certain medications alter your microbiota and compromise your immune system.
