Patient's question:
Friend invited me to take a hot spring bath, but I have gynecological inflammation and am afraid the hot spring water might not be clean. Can people with gynecological inflammation take a hot spring bath?Doctor's answer:
It is not advisable to soak in hot springs if you have gynecological inflammation. Hot springs contain many bacteria, which can easily worsen the inflammation. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough examination to confirm the cause and identify the type of inflammation. Symptomatic medication should be used for treatment. Avoid spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods during the day, and maintain a light diet. Eat more fruits and vegetables, pay attention to vaginal hygiene, and change your underwear and pants frequently. Avoid scratching the vaginal area with your hands to prevent breaking the skin and spreading the infection.
