To BV or Not To BV 👀 The pitfalls of self-diagnosis

Can I Prevent Yeast Infections Through Underwear Choice and Moisture Control?
-
Breathable underwear + quick moisture control = lower yeast risk.
-
Change out of sweaty leggings or wet swimsuits promptly; pat the external area dry.
-
Use gentle external-only cleansing; avoid douching and perfumed sprays.
-
Recurrent symptoms deserve a clinician visit.

What’s “Normal” Discharge Color/Texture—and What Isn’t?
-
Normal: clear→milky white; mild scent; texture varies during the cycle.
-
Not normal: gray/fishy (BV), thick white + itch (yeast), green/yellow frothy (trich).
-
Do: gentle external cleansing only (never inside); avoid douching; call a clinician for persistent changes.
