Hi, Thanks for using HCM To prevent Candida infection, you have to prevent heat and wetness in your vagina. To do this, you should avoid wearing synthetic panty, and G strings. Avoid any chemicals in vagina, like bubble bath, foam bath, vaginal douching, antiseptic solution etc. You must avoid tampoons, or any foreign body in your vagina. You have to take best hygienic measure during menstruation and before and after intercourse. If you are taking any antibiotics, you must use Flora tablets. Rule out any other associated infections. Avoid even protected intercourse until you completely get rid of Candidiasis. Make sure that your partner also gets checked and treated. Usually Candidiasis is not a STI, As you are getting it recurrently, better to treat him also. Some Candida species are resistant to usual antifungal tablets, so you may need to get either long course of the same tablets, or your doctor will choose the best one from the available antifungal medications. Hope this helps you. Regards
