There are various non-pharmacological measures that can help reduce its frequency, such as avoiding scented soaps and douches, using water for hygiene, cleaning from front to back, wearing breathable underwear, avoiding condoms with flavors or spermicides, and taking a break from using the Diva Cup during treatment and a few days after.
