Is it safe to swim in a chlorinated pool when you have a yeast infection?

Q: That may be a ridiculous question but I’m just curious. I haven’t been officially diagnosed as having a yeast infection (and I’ve never had one) but I’m almost positive that it’s what I have. But as most of you probably know, it’s EXTREMELY hot outside and I’d love to take advantage of my pool… Any thoughts?Thank you to all the WOMEN who answered my question with honest advice. I appreciate it. 😀

But naturally you cannot swim with pads, so there’s really no alternative but to skip class this time around. Sorry.

A: When you’re done swimming, change out of your swimsuit!!!! Sitting in that wet suit is a breeding ground for yeast to grow. Dry off immediate and change into some cotton undies!
