As the monsoon season arrives, the risk of vaginal yeast infections increases due to the humid weather.
BALANCED DIET
Maintain a healthy diet rich in probiotics, vegetables, and whole grains to boost your immune system and prevent yeast infections.
WEAR LOOSE CLOTHES
Tight clothing can trap moisture, creating an ideal environment for yeast growth. Wear breathable clothing to keep your private parts dry and comfortable.
GOOD HYGIENE
Practice good hygiene by washing your private parts with water and a mild soap. Avoid using scented soaps or bubble baths.
AVOID DOUCHING
Douching can disrupt the natural balance of bacteria in your vagina, leading to yeast infections. Avoid using vaginal deodorants or douches.
AVOID FRAGRANT ITEMS
Refrain from using fragrant tampons, pads, or vaginal sprays, as they can irritate your private parts and increase the risk of yeast infections.
GET TESTED
If you experience symptoms like itching, burning, or discharge, consult your doctor and get tested for yeast infections.
TAKE PRECAUTIONS
Be mindful of your surroundings and avoid sharing personal items to prevent the spread of yeast infections.
