Can yeast infections be prevented?
Keeping cool and dry and not sitting in a wet bathing suit or workout clothes is one place to start. If you are diabetic, keeping your blood sugars in good control helps. Prevention with acidophilus oral tablets over the counter is very helpful. You can take a dose with each dose of antibiotic you take for prevention, and if you get recurrent yeast, you can take a daily probiotic like acidophilus for overall prophylaxis (preventive treatment).
