Thank you for reaching out to us.

Yeast infections are generally caused by overgrowth of yeast that is present on everyone’s body. So there is no need for concern that the infection will spread to other women, and you can prepare and immerse normally. For your own health, it is recommended to dry yourself well whenever you shower or bathe, including after mikveh immersion.

You are permitted to immerse on time even if you will not be able to have relations that night. Immersion allows you and your husband to  stop keeping the harchakot, and to engage in other forms of physical closeness aside from intercourse.

If you do delay immersion, then once the seven clean days are complete, you do not need to do any further bedikot before mikveh.

We wish you good health! Please let us know if we can be of further assistance
