Five situations in which women cannot take a bath

Paying attention to personal hygiene, such as taking a bath and changing clothes frequently, is one of the conditions for staying healthy. However, sometimes inappropriate behavior may cause adverse reactions, causing physical discomfort or even inducing disease. Women should be more careful when taking a bath and should never take a bath in the following five situations.

1. It is not advisable to take a bath after a full meal

Many people know that you can’t wash your hair after a meal. In fact, it is not advisable to take a bath after a meal. If you take a shower after a full meal, the blood vessels on the surface of your body will be stimulated by the hot water and dilate, more blood will flow to the surface of the body, and the blood supply to the abdominal cavity will be relatively reduced, which will affect digestion and absorption, causing hypoglycemia, and even symptoms such as collapse and fainting.

2. It is not advisable to take a bath when blood pressure is too low

Many women have symptoms of low blood pressure. Women with low blood pressure symptoms must pay close attention, just like those with high blood pressure. For example, the water temperature should not be too high when taking a bath, because high water temperature can cause blood vessels to dilate. People with low blood pressure are prone to insufficient blood supply to the brain and collapse.

3. Don’t take a bath after drinking

Alcohol inhibits liver function and hinders the release of glycogen. When taking a bath, the body's glucose consumption will increase. If you take a shower after drinking alcohol, your blood sugar won't be replenished in time, which can easily cause dizziness, blurred vision, and general weakness. In severe cases, you may even suffer from hypoglycemia and coma.

4. It is not advisable to take a bath when you have fever symptoms

If you have a fever, when your body temperature rises to 38°C, your body's heat consumption can increase by 20%, and your body will be relatively weak, so accidents are more likely to happen when you take a bath at this time.

5. It is not advisable to take a bath immediately after work

Whether it is physical labor or mental labor, you should rest for a while before taking a shower, otherwise it will easily cause insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain, or even fainting.
