What causes recurring yeast infections multiple times a year?

Recurring yeast infections can be tricky! Some medications and frequent intercourse can increase the risk for developing a yeast infection, but it can also be related to genetics. 

To prevent future yeast infections, here are some tips:

  • Wear loose, cotton underwear that is breathable
  • Try taking boric acid suppositories to help maintain a healthy pH balance in and around your vagina which can make it harder for yeast to grow. We recommend Love Wellness or Boric Life
  • Refrain from using scented products in or on your genitals
  • Remove and replace clothing that gets wet with dry if possible—yeast loves warm and damp!
