During the menstrual period, women have menstrual blood accumulated in the vagina and their private parts are padded with thick sanitary napkins. In addition, the oil secretion in the lower body increases, while the ventilation of the private parts is weak.

During menstruation, the uterine wall falls off, leaving a wound in the uterine cavity; the cervical mucus is broken by menstruation, and the cervical opening is slightly open to the outside; there is menstrual retention in the female vagina, which is an excellent culture medium for bacteria. The above causes the temporary destruction of the protective barrier function of the reproductive system. In addition, the body's immunity decreases during menstruation. When taking a bath, bacteria in sewage and vagina may go up through the cervix to the uterine cavity and cause infection, so it should be strictly prohibited.
