A member asked:

How long before you can go swimming after you have a yeast infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Soon: As long as the infection is treated completely with oral or vaginal medication, it is ok to go swimming. But, get out of your wet bathing suit right after swimming. Sitting around in a wet bathing suit can lead to recurrent infection.
