Can I swim during ovulation?

The ovulation period is the time when the follicle matures fourteen days after a woman's menstruation. During this period, a woman's chances of becoming pregnant will increase to a certain extent. However, during this period, the female vaginal membrane becomes thinner and is very susceptible to infection, and the water in the swimming pool is not very clean. In addition, there is a chance that sperm can survive in the swimming pool, so there is a very small risk of sperm implantation.

Ovulation refers to the process in which the egg cell and the surrounding cumulus granulosa cells are released together.

A woman's ovulation date is generally around 14 to 16 days before the next menstrual period. After the egg is released from the ovary, it can survive in the fallopian tube for 1-2 days, waiting for fertilization; the male's sperm can maintain its fertilization ability in the female's reproductive tract for 2-3 days, so it is easy to get pregnant through sexual intercourse a few days before and after the egg is released. To be on the safe side, we call the 5 days before and 4 days after ovulation, together with the ovulation day, a total of 10 days, the ovulation period. Because it is easy to get pregnant through sexual intercourse during the ovulation period, the ovulation period is also called the fertile period or the dangerous period.
