Treatments to Prevent Vaginal Infections
The most important thing you can do for your vaginal health is to treat your body well and eat well. Diets that include good bacteria (probiotics) can help, working in conjunction with good vaginal hygiene.
While good hygiene and a healthy diet are great preventive measures, they cannot treat a problem. Regular examinations can help ensure that any problems are diagnosed and treated properly. The sooner any infections are diagnosed, the more quickly and effectively they can be resolved.
