Can I go to the beach??

I’m 20 weeks pregnant and I went to the doctor yesterday and she said I have a yeast infection and prescribed me this stuff to insert into my vagina once a day for 7 days. (I’ve never had a yeast infection in my life) so this is all new to me. Can I still go to the beach and get in the water even tho I have that stuff in my vagina?? Will it make my infection worst?? Or could it make the medicine not work??

Just wanted to add that yeast loves dark, warm, and wet environments - aka a wet swim suit. So change out of your wet suit ASAP. Maybe even bring a spare one to change into if you’ll be out of the water for a bit.

You can but don’t sit around in a wet bathing suit throughout the day. I would recommend after going in the water trying to change into something dry soon after. You may just have to be somewhat strategic.
