Can you get a yeast infection from swimming in lake/river/ocean water?

Question

Thank you!

Answer 1

No, but it makes a good excuse.

Answer 2

Yeast organisms are there naturally. Generally theu cause a problem when an antibiotic kills the other normal flora and they take over. Swimming may cause it to be worse. Pool water could irritate. Water in nature can not cause a yeast infection, but some areas can be too dirty to swim, there are usually signs if this is true.

Answer 6

yes, if your in your wet swimsuit for a long time after you get out of the water.  excess moisture and heat are trapped in that area and that's the kind of environment that bacteria love.

Yes, especially if you just let swim suit or clothes dry while you're wearing them.  If you've never had a yeast infection b4 see your dr. for certain diagnosis as it may be something else associated with unsanitary water.
