Swimming is prone to fungal vaginitis

Swimming pools in summer are places where bacteria are easily transmitted. Women have short urethras and their vaginas are connected to the outside world, which provides a convenient door for bacterial infection.

In swimming pools, you can often see some girls sitting on the ground or steps beside the pool when they are tired of swimming. At the same time, there are many people walking around barefoot on the ground and steps, which can easily cause candidal vaginitis. The changing rooms of public swimming pools are usually simple, with stools, toilets, and lockers all shared, and mold may be hidden in each place, leading to infection.

How to prevent vaginitis? Women should not sit around after swimming. Urinate immediately after swimming to cleanse the skin. Wash the vulva carefully after swimming. Women who are menstruating should not go swimming in the swimming pool. Wash and dry the body thoroughly with clean water as soon as possible after swimming to keep the skin and vulva clean.
