What are the precautions for women after swimming?

Nowadays, many women can swim, especially in the summer. You can see many people swimming at the beach or swimming pool. Regular swimming is beneficial to health and is also regarded as a way of exercising. So what should women pay attention to after swimming? Next, let’s ask an authoritative expert to explain it to you.

Women should pay attention to the following points when swimming according to their physiological characteristics:

1. Do not swim in contaminated water to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection.

2. Don't swim on cold days, and don't swim in particularly cold springs, because women have poorer resistance and adaptability.

3. Patients with vaginitis, acute cervicitis, acute pelvic inflammatory disease, and urinary tract infection should not go swimming.

4. After swimming, you should take a shower with clean water as soon as possible to keep your skin and vulva clean. If you feel any discomfort, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

5. You cannot swim before, during, or after menstruation or during ovulation. For women, there are two periods when it is best not to swim. The first period is during menstruation. Due to the increase in secretions and menstrual blood, entering a swimming pool would be unhealthy and unsightly. Some women who love swimming sometimes go swimming after using sanitary tampons during their menstrual period. During women's menstrual period, the body's resistance decreases, and bacteria can easily enter the uterus, fallopian tubes and other reproductive organs through the vagina and cause infection. Therefore, swimming during menstruation is unsafe, and using sanitary tampon is not advisable. The second period is the ovulation period. During this period, the vaginal secretions will be clearer and thinner in preparation for the entry of sperm, and the ability to resist bacteria will also be weaker. If you enter the swimming pool to swim at this time, it is easy to cause vaginal infection and inflammation.

6. Do not stay in deep water for too long. Usually the water temperature in deep water is lower and the water pressure is higher. The human body will produce a series of stress reactions, which will not only fail to eliminate fatigue, but also reduce resistance. Many bacteria will take advantage of the "weakness" to enter the vagina and cause gynecological diseases such as vaginitis, which will have a certain impact on women's future pregnancy and physical health. Therefore, when swimming, you should try to avoid staying in deep water for too long.

7. Be wary of gynecological infections caused by public facilities. The changing rooms of public swimming pools are usually simpler, and the stools, toilets, and lockers are all shared, so they are inevitably contaminated with bacteria. Therefore, when changing clothes, women should try not to let their skin come into direct contact with the stool, and the clothes they take off should be packed in clean bags.

It is recommended that women choose to swim in high-quality, pollution-free waters with a health license issued by the health department; try to reduce the time spent in a wet swimsuit, try to urinate after swimming and take a shower as soon as possible, and carefully clean the vulva and surrounding skin when bathing to keep the skin and vulva clean and not leave time and space for bacteria to grow. If you feel unwell, you should go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in time; swimming time should not exceed 90 minutes; in the locker room, close-fitting clothes should not come into direct contact with the wardrobe.

The above is the article about what women should pay attention to after swimming. After all, women are a relatively clean group and are very susceptible to diseases, so if you want to swim in public places, you should pay more attention to your body.
