Could High Amounts Of Chlorine Have Led To Yeast Infection?

Hi ,hi have had a yeast infection for a little over 24 hrs. I noticed this a few days after a day with my family at the pool. Could the high amounts of chlorine be a factor as to why I have a yeast infection? Can I treat the yeast with a detol soak in the tub?

Hey thanks for your faith in the health care magic.i have gone through your question and understood your problem.yes it can if u had yeast infection previously.
When swimming with a yeast infection, keep your vaginal area dry when you're through with your swim. Hanging around in a wet bathing suit can stimulate the growth of yeast, exacerbating your infection. Avoid putting another suit on, if possible, because yeast thrives in synthetic fabrics. A loose-fitting dress and cotton panties helps keep your vaginal area dry and inhibit the yeast infection.
