Taking a hot spring bath during menstruation and within 4 days before and after can cause vaginitis

Women can often soak in hot springs to maintain their skin and relax, and can also assist in the treatment of some diseases to varying degrees. However, there are some rules for soaking in hot springs. It is not advisable to soak in hot springs during menstruation and within 4 days before and after menstruation, otherwise it is easy to get vaginitis.

1. Why is hot spring bathing at this stage likely to cause vaginitis?

Although the water in the hot spring pool has been circulated and disinfected, it cannot be guaranteed to be completely sterile. Under normal circumstances, the female vagina itself has a certain self-purification and self-defense function, but during and before and after the menstrual period, the female's own resistance will be relatively weakened, and it is more susceptible to bacterial invasion and vaginitis. For example, if you take a hot spring bath within 4 days before menstruation, the water temperature of the hot spring pool is very different from that outside the pool, which can easily stimulate blood vessel contraction or expansion. This irregular change of small blood vessels can lead to various adverse reactions such as delayed menstruation, and then cause symptoms such as irregular menstruation, causing certain damage to the body. If you take a hot spring bath during the menstrual period or within 4 days after the menstrual period, because the cervix is ​​open during the menstrual period, the contraction of the cervix is ​​not complete within 4 days after the menstrual period, and the water containing pathogenic microorganisms can easily enter the vagina and cause bacterial vaginitis.

2. Can I take a hot spring bath after inserting a tampon into my vagina?

Many women want to take a hot spring bath during their menstrual period and within 4 days before and after, so they come up with a method, that is, inserting a tampon into the vagina. However, they do not know that this method will greatly increase the chance of vaginitis infection. If the tampon is in too close contact with the vagina, and the tampon itself has a certain ability to absorb water, it is easier to bring water into the vagina and cause inflammation when taking a hot spring bath.
