What should I do if I get yeast infections often?
Women who experience several yeast infections a year may want to consult with their physician. Certain conditions, such as diabetes, increase the risk of yeast infections and may need to be ruled out as a cause.

In addition, certain preventive medicines or foods may be recommended. Using boric acid capsules as vaginal suppositories or eating yogurt with live Lactobacillus acidophilus cultures may help prevent recurrent infections.
