How can women prevent infection when swimming?

Because women's genitals are completely exposed, when swimming, the water in the pool will come into complete contact with women's private parts, which may lead to infection. It cannot be said that swimming will cause infection, but if you want to avoid infection, you must take some measures to actively resist it. So, how can women prevent infection when swimming? Let’s take a look below.

Also, try to minimize the time you spend in a wet swimsuit after swimming. Many people like to rest by the pool after swimming. Moisture is the culprit of candidal vaginitis. If you want to sunbathe or rest, it is best to change clothes before going.

In addition, it is recommended to use professional detergent to clean carefully after swimming, so as not to give bacteria time and space to grow.

What kind of lotion is healthy and effective? Professor Chen's advice: give priority to herbal antibacterial formulas. Natural herbal antibacterial ingredients can effectively inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. Moreover, the herbal formula of the wash has natural ingredients, mild effects, and few side effects, which are more suitable for the sensitive and delicate female private parts. Since the pH value of the female private parts is normally weakly acidic, it plays an important role in preventing pathogen infection, so it is best to choose a wash with a pH value between 3.8-4.5. If you find it difficult to distinguish, then choose a trustworthy and well-known feminine wash. The quality of large manufacturers is relatively more guaranteed.

Choose a place with clean water to swim

On hot summer days, whether women choose to swim in the sea or in a swimming pool, they must choose a place with clean water sources and never swim in swimming pools or beaches where the water sources are polluted. This can easily allow dirty water to enter the vagina and cause inflammation and other diseases.

It is best not to use public supplies

Some swimming pools are equipped with public supplies, but these public supplies actually contain a lot of bacteria, which can have an impact on women's health, so it is best not to use public supplies in swimming pools.

In the few days before and during menstruation, women's body resistance decreases, and they are at a stage where they are easily invaded by external pathogens. The defense capabilities of the vagina and uterus are also weakened. Swimming during this period greatly increases the chance of infection.

Wash with clean water as soon as possible after swimming

After swimming, women should rinse their bodies with clean water as soon as possible and dry their bodies with a clean towel to ensure the cleanliness of their skin and vulva and protect their health.

Women with gynecological diseases are advised not to swim

Although the water in the swimming pool has been disinfected, it cannot be guaranteed to be sterile. Women with gynecological diseases such as vaginitis, acute cervicitis, acute pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. should not go swimming to prevent bacteria in the swimming pool water from infecting the vagina and worsening the condition, while also avoiding affecting the health of others.
