Generally, if you practice good vagina health--clean underwear with a cotton, breathable crotch, showers rather than baths, no use of douches or perfumed hygiene sprays--yeast infections don't happen or are a rarity. If you have one, visit your doctor for a prescription to clear it for once and for all. If you are sexually active, make sure that your partner is not the one passing on the infection to you--ask him to wash up before getting down to business.
