How can I protect myself from STDs and other infections that cause abnormal discharge?
The best ways to keep STDs from affecting your pregnancy are:
• To be in a monogamous relationship with a partner who is free of STDs. (The only way to know for sure is for both you and your partner to be tested.)
• Use a spermicide-free latex condom. This isn't 100 percent effective, but it can greatly reduce your chances of contracting an STD.
• Talk with your doctor and get screened for STDS if necessary.
• Don't douche.
To help prevent yeast and other bacterial infections:
• Wear loose-fitting cotton clothing, especially undergarments.
• Dry your vaginal area thoroughly after washing.
• Always wipe from front to back after using the toilet (this will also help prevent urinary tract infections).
• Change wet or damp clothing promptly.
• Don't use any toilet paper or feminine product (including tampons and sanitary pads) containing deodorant or scents.
• Avoid bubble baths -- tempting as they are, they can irritate the vagina and encourage infections.
