Prevention of vaginal yeast infections
Women who are at high risk of getting a yeast infection can take an oral antifungal to prevent it. Women are at greater risk:
- diabetes
- who need to take antibiotics for a long time
- repeatedly affected by yeast infections, especially if they have a weakened immune system
Keeping the vulva clean and wearing loose-fitting, absorbent cotton clothing that allows for air circulation can reduce moisture, which encourages the growth of yeasts, thereby helping to prevent their growth.
