Can I take a hot spring bath during menstruation?

As autumn approaches, it is the time to take a hot spring bath. Soaking in warm water can not only detoxify and beautify the skin, but also protect the skin and make it firm. It is also beneficial to the relaxation of physical and mental health. However, not all ladies can take a hot spring bath. For example, they cannot go into the water during menstruation, otherwise bacteria can easily enter the vagina and cause infection. Even if you want to take a hot spring bath, you can't take such risks.

Many people know that warmth has medicinal value, and proper hot spring bathing can indeed be beneficial to health. However, despite the many benefits of hot springs, you should not go into the water during menstruation, because the endometrium is particularly fragile during menstruation, and doing so may damage your body.

It is not advisable to take a hot spring bath 4 days before and after menstruation: Experts say that women should not take a hot spring bath during menstruation and within 4 days before and after. Although the water in the hot spring pool is circulated and disinfected, it is impossible for the water to be completely sterile. Although the female vagina has its own self-cleaning and natural defense functions, before and after menstruation, women's resistance is relatively weakened and they are more susceptible to bacterial invasion. At the same time, due to the large temperature difference between the water temperature of the hot spring pool and the outdoor temperature, it stimulates the blood vessels to contract or expand. Such irregular changes in small blood vessels can delay the menstrual period and easily cause menstrual disorders. After menstruation, the cervix does not contract completely, and if you take a hot spring bath in unclean waters, the water containing pathogenic microorganisms can enter the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes and other reproductive organs, making it more likely to cause gynecological diseases such as bacterial vaginitis and salpingitis.

During menstruation, the immune system is low and the cervix is ​​open. Taking a bath can easily lead to gynecological infections. It is also not advisable to take a bath in the late menstrual period when the amount of blood is less. In addition, during your menstrual period, you should keep a happy mood as usual, arrange your work and rest time reasonably, avoid strenuous physical labor, and combine work and rest. Excessive exertion during menstruation can lead to prolonged menstruation or excessive menstruation; on the contrary, excessive relaxation and stagnation of qi and blood can easily lead to symptoms such as dysmenorrhea.

Therefore, you cannot take a hot spring bath during menstruation and it is very harmful to your body. Even if you take any measures, you cannot avoid damage to the cervix. It will be too late to regret it then. There are opportunities to take a comfortable hot spring bath. There is no need to joke with your body for the sake of comfort. Otherwise, you will be left with a lifelong disease, and all kinds of sequelae will occur.
