Good evening..
Main thing to prevent infection is to maintain hygiene .
- use washed and cotton panties, cotton pads during ur periods. Each Pad should not be used for more than 6 hours.
-Avoid using wheat creams or razors for hair removal as few ppl are sensitive to them and cause irritation and itching will start. So see which one suits you and then use it. If ur using any of them please stop.
- all these can cause fungal infection.
- Drink plenty of water.
Next Steps
Tab. Fluconazole 150 mg alternate day for 3 days.
Candid powder u can spray over the genital area.
Health Tips
