How bad is chlorine

Postby Apes » 24 May 2014, 05:46

Taking a family vacation and wondering how bad going in a chlorine pool might be for the fissure? 20 day Botox and feeling good don't want to screw things up. Would you swim??? If so I'm thinking maybe put coconut oil on after to keep it hydrated.

I swam 5-6 weeks after Botox. Even took the waterslides :-)

However, I also swam with an active fissure, and it felt fine while swimming, but when I got out of the water, it hurt like hell!

I have been on several holidays since having my fissure and always swim. I went a few weeks after Botox too, and it was fine. I especially think the salty sea water is good for fissures.
