Can I bathe during menstruation?

Let's discuss the question that interests most of the girls and women: "Is it possible to swim during menstruation?"

Let's start with general moments about menstruation. Menstruation is a cyclic rejection of the endometrium of the uterine cavity, as a result of which it is renewed. A certain area is torn away every month and for a few days the endothelium with an admixture of blood leaves the uterus.

Every woman should understand that the detached endothelium is a wound that can become infected, and the water is far from sterile.

"Can I bathe during menstruation or during pregnancy?" - many women ask a gynecologist. The doctor should respond to the woman so that she makes a conclusion for herself. After all, if something can not be done, it does not mean that people will not do it.

So, to correctly and correctly answer this question, let's examine what can happen if you bathe during the months.

If a woman decides to splash right at the beginning of menstruation, then this is a rather heavy inflammatory process.

Inflammation can begin as a result of banal hypothermia. You can even not feel as such a cold water, just the surface of the uterus is not protected by the endothelium and mucous, and therefore more susceptible to hypothermia than the skin and other surfaces.

As a result of the penetration of bacteria, an inflammatory process develops. And this does not mean that everything will happen right after the woman gets out of the water. The process lasts from 3 to 7 days. And, much depends on the immune system of women, if it is weak, and in addition still has some pathology of the genitals, then banal bathing can turn into sepsis.

Very often the girls, when going on vacation, ask the doctor "can I bathe in the sea during menstruation?". Apparently, representatives of the weaker sex think that salt water is an excellent disinfectant, so they do not face anything. But there are many other unpleasant microorganisms in the sea, which very often spoil the woman's rest.

Movable organisms can penetrate during bathing in the vagina and uterus, attaching to the walls of the organ and causing unpleasant sensations, inflammatory processes and even decay.

In the question of "can I bathe with menstruation?", One can not ignore the fact that when bathing small vessels are thrombosed and the blood temporarily ceases to stand out. After a day, the monthly starts again, which extends the cycle, and, consequently, the next rejection may not start on time. Gynecologists noted that during the summer period, many women are disrupted by the menstrual cycle, and this is mostly due to bathing.

When a girl asks a question about whether you can swim during menstruation, I want to ask her if she knows what dysbacteriosis is. The fact is that water with its entire microflora and environment has a very distant relationship with the microflora of the vagina. That is why with frequent bathing, not even during menstruation, some women may be prone to dysbacteriosis. And during the period of menstruation, neither the vagina nor the uterus is practically unprotected, and the risk of developing this condition in women is doubled.

Can I bathe during menstruation? Well, if you really want, then you can, only you need to be able to protect yourself from the negative impact of various factors. First, for 30-40 minutes before bathing, you need to sanitize the vagina with special candles (for example, with "Betadine" or any other that you find in the pharmacy). It is best based on iodine, but it is possible and usual. It is necessary to use a tampon during bathing and remove it immediately after you leave on land. After that, at night, you need to reapply the vaginal candle.

All this is necessary only in order to protect you from the possible impact of river or sea water.
