Hello, I ll sum up what you can do about it: - regarding hygiene: use just water to clean your vagina. Do not douche it. Douching it may change the normal flora and leave room for pathogens like candida to grow. - antibiotic use: using antibiotics promotes yeast infections. - avoid moisture: prefer to wear loose cotton underwear. - sexual intercourse: it may increase your chances of getting a new yeast infection. If your partner has visible lesions on his penis then he should get treated. - other conditions: pregnancy is a well-known for the increased rate of yeast infections in the vagina. Checking your blood sugar for diabetes might be helpful too. I hope I ve helped! You can contact me again, if you d like any clarification or further information. Kind Regards!
