Very hard: Sometimes use of a "probiotic" agent can help. Acidophilus tablets help some women; sometimes a product called "flora=q" can balance the vaginal ph to prevent yeast infections. Some women use garlic supplements to help. Sometimes, for women wtih confirmed frequent/recurrent yeast infections, Diflucan (fluconazole) pills (100mg, once per week for up to 12 weeks can prevent recurrrences.
