Can women take a hot spring bath during menstruation?

Women can often soak in hot springs to beautify their skin, whiten and moisturize it, and relax tense emotions. Hot spring water, in particular, contains special effects that can treat many diseases. It is best for women not to take a hot spring bath during their menstrual period. The cervix of women during this period is slightly open. The hot spring water cannot be completely sterile. Menstrual blood will contaminate the pool, and bacteria will enter the uterine cavity, causing gynecological infections. This is the same reason why you cannot take a bath during menstruation. Moreover, hot springs are public places. Taking a hot spring bath during menstruation not only poses health risks to oneself, but also causes trouble to others.

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.

Women should not take a hot spring bath during their menstrual period or during pregnancy. The reason is also because unclean spring water can easily cause infection, and the high temperature environment of hot springs is not conducive to the growth of the fetus. In addition to these special things, women's appropriate hot spring bathing can relieve fatigue, relax muscles and tendons, detoxify and lose weight.
