A member asked:

How do you prevent a yeast infection when having sex frequently?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Good hygiene, etc..: The best way to prevent this is probably good hygiene, like douching regularly and showering regularly. It would also help to lessen the frequency of sex. Give your body a chance to rest and recover.
