Fragrances, colors, flavors, and spermicides in condoms or lubricants may not agree with your skin. Even products on your partner’s body can cause irritation. Use lube to avoid friction from dry sex, and know that men can get a yeast infection after having unprotected sex with a woman who has one.

Choose foods that are anti-inflammatory and that reduce pain and eat fiber-rich foods that lower the estrogen level to avoid hormonal treatments and their side effects.

When it comes to dressing right, wearing the right underwear is half the battle won. Before picking up a bra, check whether it's the right size, style and color, and also make sure it complements your outfit. If you're wearing tight trousers or skirts, wear seamless underwear.

Sanitary napkins and tampons are not as safe as you think. Even the cotton ones are loaded with toxic pesticides and dioxin, which affect estrogen functioning.
