Ocean or pool causing vaginal imbalance?

Question

3 months ago I moved to FL and started swimming every day in our pool without problems. Then I went into the ocean and got a severe vaginal imbalance causing white discharge and itching. I treated with OTC monistat which took care of surface itching but didn't clear up for 2 weeks. 
Now I swim less, but went in the ocean and pool in the same day. 5 days later I had a slight white discharge, been eating yogurt constantly, now my vagina feels like the Saraha desert. Even with sexual arousal and climax I am still dry.
What is going on? How do I prevent this?

Answer

If you swam in the gulf, there are numerous bacterias in there that can do more harm than good. I grew up by the gulf and suffered from yeist infections as a toddler (not sure if related) but I also swam a lot in pools. It does throw off your ph balance down there when you do a lot of those activities. I can only recall once in my late teens having a bacterial imbalance down there and my gyno prescribed me an antibiotic to take it away and since then I've moved from FLA, so I would say just take precautions. You take a risk when swimming in any body of water, even chlorinated ones.

Answer

You need to get out of your wet suit as soon as your out of the water take a shower and get completly dried down there it's the moisture that is causing you  your issues!!!
