Do not douche
If you have vaginal symptoms, see a clinician
If you want to reduce odor or irritation, use only external gentle cleansing with water (or a mild, fragrance-free cleanser on the vulva)
Wear breathable cotton underwear
Avoid scented products (sprays, powders, wipes) in or around the vagina
Avoid inserting anything into the vagina unless prescribed
Seek urgent care if you have severe pelvic pain, fever, foul-smelling discharge, bleeding after sex, or pregnancy with symptoms
If you’re having recurrent infections or abnormal discharge, get evaluated for the cause before trying any home remedy
