A member asked:

Besidea using medications that my doctor has prescribed what can i do for better treatment of my yeast infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Minimize poss causes: The vagina is in a balancing act with a very acidic ph as the most natural baseline. Probiotics have shown some benefits, but there are things that allow the ph to rise like the ejaculate, menstrual blood, antibiotics that wipe out healthy bacteria, even some underwear that hold in heat and moisture. Recurrent yeast infections can herald diseases like diabetes and requires a doctor's appointment.
