Im a volleyball player and how do i prevent yeast infections?

Question

I have tournaments all day and frequently and games and i am always in my spandex. how can i prevent yeast infections? i get one every season and it is really annoying.

Answer 1

stay clean, clean your spandex a lot. if you wear underwear under the spandex, make sure it has a cotton crotch area. some yeast infections can be caused b/c the fabric doesn't let your area air out.

Answer 2

use cotton crotch undies, and take frequent showers.

Answer 3

according to some experts its good to go commando at night to give your v****a some air. especially if its gonna be concealed all day. i sa it on the tyra banks show.

Answer 4

hygience mainly I guess..but for now try using anti-fungal creams such as hydrozole..works very well..stops the itch..and dun scratch ur privates! They do spread around the body..

Answer 5

Leave the thongs alone!  Try to stay clean, dry and discard all of the non-cotton undies.

Answer 6

umm. . .i think there is more to your yeast infections then just wearing spandex all day, because i have played vball since as long i can remember and i have never gotten a yeast infection nor has any of my team mates, and i mean i have been in tournaments where i have to wear my spanex from early in the morning to late at night, just the life of vball, sorry i can't help you with your yeast issues.

Answer 7

lots of cranberry juice...  :)

Answer 8

keep your stuff clean and stay off the antibiotics
