Obviously, if you have to take an antibiotic to fight infection, you shouldn’t pass up the prescription, just load up on probiotic Greek yogurt to reduce the damage, she says.
Be Mindful of the Order of S,e.x Acts
Make sure not to go from an.al to vaginal s.e.x without changing the con.dom or properly cleaning off first, says Minkin. Going from backdoor to front exposes your va.gi.na to a host of bacteria and can up your risk of infections, she says.
