About four days ago I had sex in the pool with my boyfriend. We didn’t use any lubricants or a condom. Since then I have been experiencing a really bad itch inside and outside my vagina as well as irritation. I have no natural lubricants sine then so it is always dry down there and caused me to itch even more. My discharge has also changed. It looks like cottage cheese but has no odor. I was reading online and I have all the symptoms of a yeast infection. I called a clinic the other day and the doctor told me that the chlorine in the pool could have caused this dryness and it is only temporarily but if this persists to go to the doctor. Could I have gotten a yeast infection or did the chlorine in the pool cause this? Thank you in advance.
