Do i have to boil water to disinfect underwear for vaginal bacterial infections or yeast?

No: If they are your own underwear - wash in hot water setting with detergent. Don't recommend sharing underwear. Take care.

NO: Just wash your clothes in the laundry as you normally would. No special cleaning techniques are required.
