A gross topic, I know. Guys, feel free to skip this one.
As I mentioned last time, antibiotics kill off the good bacteria in our bodies that keep yeast in check. Everyone, men and women alike, have yeast in their bodies. It's only when our bodies get out of whack that it becomes a problem.
Yeast infections are also not just vaginal or in the genital area. I've had out of control yeast in my armpits and in my mouth. It's an extremely painful.
There are several steps you can take to keep yeast in check. One already mentioned is to use antibiotics sparingly. Diet is also important. Eating natural yogurt with live cultures (and no high fructose corn syrup) helps keep yeast in line. In the mouth, don't overuse mouthwashes and as far as other areas of the body, keep them clean and as dry as possible. Yeast thrive in warm, damp area.
