Will I get sick if I take a cold shower during my period?

Menstruation is a very special physiological period for women, and it occurs once a month. When menstruation comes and goes normally, and the amount is also normal, then it means that the body is healthy and normal. If your menstrual period starts to become irregular, or the amount is heavy or light, then it means that you are experiencing symptoms of illness. So will you get sick if you take a cold shower during menstruation? Let us introduce it below.

The currently accepted method is to use a shower or a sponge bath. During menstruation, the endometrium is shed, leaving wounds in the uterine cavity; cervical mucus is flushed out by menstrual blood, and the cervical opening is slightly open; menstrual blood stays in the vagina, which is a good culture medium for bacteria. The above results in temporary destruction of the local protective barrier function of the reproductive tract. Coupled with the decrease in body resistance during menstruation, when taking a bath, sewage and bacteria in the vagina may ascend through the cervical canal to the uterine cavity and cause infection, so it should be prohibited. Some situations similar to menstruation, such as vaginal surgery, miscarriage and childbirth, should also prohibit bathing in the near future.

When taking a cold shower, the water temperature is too low and the human body will feel cold, producing a series of stress reactions, such as increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, muscle contraction, nervous tension, etc. It not only fails to eliminate fatigue, but also easily causes colds, so it should be avoided as much as possible. Due to special physiological reasons, especially for women during menstruation, lactation and pregnancy, the stimulation of cold water will cause endocrine disorders, amenorrhea, abdominal pain, and many bacteria will enter the vagina and cause gynecological diseases such as vaginitis. Severe cases will have a certain impact on women's future pregnancy and physical health.

For those female friends with poor physical constitution, they should not take cold showers. Otherwise, their poor resistance will be stimulated by the cold and may cause colds, fevers and other diseases. However, you can persist in washing your face with cold water for a long time to promote blood circulation, prevent colds and rhinitis, and make your skin more shiny and elastic.

Taking a cold shower during menstruation can easily lead to illness. Not to mention during menstruation, even for normal people, if their resistance is slightly weaker or they do not pay attention to keeping warm, taking a cold shower may cause illness. When menstruation comes, women's bodies are relatively weak. If you don't pay attention to keeping warm in this situation, you may get sick.
