Yeast Infections in People Who Sit All Day

Sitting for long periods of time, especially if you are confined to a wheelchair, can create a nice environment for a vaginal yeast infection.

If you aren’t able to get up and move around, you’ll want to be especially careful to wear only cotton underwear that is changed often, even several times a day.

It will help if you wash your genital and rectal area every morning and night with a non-scented soap that contains no disinfectants. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with water after washing.

Don’t put your underwear back on until you’re good and dry – some folks even recommend using a hair dryer on a very low setting, but this obviously requires some caution.

Even if you aren’t confined to a wheelchair, if you sit for many hours a day at the office be sure you don’t aggravate an already unnatural situation by wearing non-breathable panty hose, or underwear made from man-made fabrics that cause chafing. A product called Zeasorb Super Absorbent powder may help absorb the excess moisture.
