Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Can I swim during my period?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Women should not swim within three days before or after their menstrual period. It is also important to avoid swimming during menstruation and it is best to wait at least three days after the period has ended before swimming. While swimming, it is essential to strengthen self-protection. Even if a woman does not have gynecological inflammation or is not menstruating, she should always be alert and enhance her awareness of self-health protection. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to the development of these conditions. Therefore, it is advisable to undergo routine check-ups at a gynecological department in the hospital. Once the cause is identified, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, while avoiding spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
