If you have ever lived through the discomfort of yeast infection, you know the value in finding ways to prevent it in the first place. Yeast lives in your body in two forms: roots and spores, both of which can ruin the health of both men and women. By following these 5 tips, you will sharply reduce your chances of contracting a yeast infection.

Tip #1: Do not use perfumed products: So many products today have additional scents added to them to make them more pleasant to use. Unfortunately, those same scented chemicals can actually promote yeast infection. Stop using scented oils, soaps, deodorant sprays, and toilet paper. Also, be sure to avoid bubble baths whenever possible.

Tip #2: Avoid frequent douching: Women: advertisers and drug companies want you to believe than regular douching is unquestionably good for you: not necessarily true. While douching does have certain medical benefits, douching too often can actually promote yeast infection because it disrupts the natural balance that exists in your body. Check with your doctor.

Move #3: Go to bed without underwear: Going to bed without wearing underwear allows your genitals to breathe better. Proper ventilation will make it harder for yeast spores and roots to form.

Tip #4: Remove sweaty workout clothes immediately: If you work out or jog, be sure to remove your sweaty clothes immediately upon returning home. Sweaty clothes keep your genitals warm and moist for extended periods of time, which creates the ideal conditions for yeast to grow.

Tip #5: Wear cotton, breathable underwear: Women: avoid polyester underwear. Instead, wear the more readily breathable cotton variety. And, if you wear pantyhose, be sure to wear cotton underwear underneath them: you may show a bit more of a panty line, but you will sharply reduce your chances of contracting a yeast infection.

The keys to avoiding a yeast infection are moisture reduction, breathability, and not using perfumed chemicals. By doing so, you should be able to count on much less frequent yeast infections, if you do get any at all.
