Can I go swimming during my period?

There are many things that women should pay attention to when they have their period. Women must pay more attention to personal hygiene during menstruation to prevent infections and induce gynecological diseases. The changing rooms in public swimming pools are usually simple and inevitably contaminated with bacteria. If a woman's skin comes into contact with something unclean when she changes clothes, infection may occur. So, can women swim during menstruation?

Hidden vagina killer in the swimming pool

The swimming pool is full of people. The graceful women in the swimming pool are a feast for the eyes of many men, but an invisible killer is approaching female friends step by step, and the vagina is in danger. Because women have short urethras and their vaginas are connected to the outside world, this provides a convenient door for bacterial infection. In the swimming pool, you can often see some girls who sit on the ground or steps by the swimming pool when they are tired of swimming. At the same time, there are many people walking around barefoot on the ground and steps. If you have athlete's foot, it will stick to the ground. If someone sits on it, it can easily cause candidal vaginitis. Therefore, to prevent vaginitis during swimming, do not sit around in a wet swimsuit, and urinate immediately after swimming to cleanse the body. The vulva should be cleaned carefully after swimming.

Some female friends even swim during menstruation. Although the female vagina itself has self-cleaning and natural defense functions, women's resistance is relatively weakened before menstruation. If you swim in unclean waters at this time, the water containing pathogenic microorganisms can enter reproductive organs such as the vagina, uterus and fallopian tubes, causing gynecological diseases such as bacterial vaginitis and salpingitis.

Some women think that they can swim during their menstrual period as long as they put in a sanitary tampon. In fact, this method is not advisable. Because menstrual blood is a good breeding ground for bacteria, and the uterus is open during menstruation, when the tampon is soaked in water, bacteria can easily enter the body through the cotton layer that absorbs menstrual blood and cause reproductive system infection. Swimming during menstruation can also cause menstrual disorders due to the stimulation of cold water.

It is not recommended for women to take a bath during menstruation, because it is easy to cause some candidal vaginitis during this period. For the sake of normal health in the future, female friends must pay more attention to it in daily life. The above are some precautions that the editor has compiled about women swimming.
