Why can't you take a bath during menstruation?

After a tiring day of work, many friends can completely relax their body and mind by taking a hot bath, which makes them feel happier and promotes sleep. Therefore, many friends have the habit of taking a bath, especially women who love cleanliness like to take a bath more. Some female friends have said that they are very distressed because they cannot take a bath during menstruation. So why can't they take a bath during menstruation? In the next period of time, please join me in reading the following content.

Can you take a shower during your period? The answer is yes. However, you must pay attention to keeping warm at this time, and for bathing, you can only choose to shower. This will give bacteria the opportunity to enter people's vagina, thereby causing infection. Let's take a look at this issue together.

The vagina is prone to produce odor during menstruation, especially in summer. However, it is not healthy to use shower gel to clean the vagina while taking a bath, or to repeatedly wash the vagina with hot water. Instead, it is easy to cause vaginal infection and lead to itching.

Whether you can take a bath during menstruation is not a small question, especially when it comes to vaginal health. To clean the vagina, choose a professional lotion. Because the female vagina is normally a slightly acidic environment, which can inhibit bacterial growth, but during menstruation the vagina becomes alkaline, the resistance to bacteria is reduced, and it is easy to be infected. If you do not use professional vaginal cleaning fluid or repeatedly wash with hot water, the alkalinity will increase. Therefore, you need to choose professional vaginal cleaning liquid to clean your vagina, especially during menstruation.

The question of whether you can take a bath during menstruation should not be underestimated. During menstruation, be sure to take a shower or sponge bath. During menstruation, the endometrium is shed, leaving wounds in the uterine cavity; cervical mucus is flushed out by menstrual blood, and the cervical opening is slightly open; menstrual blood stays in the vagina, which is a good culture medium for bacteria. The above results in temporary destruction of the local protective barrier function of the reproductive tract. Coupled with the decrease in body resistance during menstruation, when taking a bath, sewage and bacteria in the vagina may ascend through the cervical canal to the uterine cavity and cause infection, so it should be prohibited.

It should be noted that women should not only pay attention to bathing during menstruation, but also pay attention to not abusing antibiotics or some chemical drugs for long-term flushing. This can prevent the growth of bacteria and cause the occurrence of candidal vaginitis. Can you take a bath during menstruation? Be careful.

The above paragraphs provide us with good answers to the above questions. After reading them carefully, many female friends feel that they have benefited a lot and have become more aware of improving their own health. But I also want to remind my female friends that menstruation makes us more vulnerable, and our resistance and immunity are reduced, so we must take good care of ourselves, keep warm, and eat less spicy food.
