how to prevent yeast / candida infection on bike trip
EDIT: thank you all for the support and super usedul tips, this is really a great sub! I‘ll bring an emergency diflucan pill, suppositories, buy a second pair shorts (maybe 3 if i can afford), will wash the shorts every night, and keep it clean and airy down there with all the tips that you shared!! I‘ll do a second edit after the trip to report how it went :))
Hey there, I‘m going on a one week bike trip with friends soon, and I was hoping to get some advice on how to prevent a candida infection.
unfortunately, I‘ve been stuggling a lot with recurring infections in the last years. I kinda know my way around by now, but I‘m super worried about getting it on a bike trip… does anyone have experience with this?
I only have one bike short (but am considering buying a second one) and I‘m just worried that riding one week without underwear in it will kill my vaginal flora. How do you usually do it? I‘ll take some food supplements with me and will try to be careful with sugar.
Di you have experience with baby wipes? Do they help or just kill your flora?
Also never used chamois creme as I‘m usually careful with putting extra things on my vagina. Does it help for preventing yeast infection as well?
Thank you soo much for helping out, I‘m really a bit desperate about this bike trip coming up…
