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 my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. May I take a bath during my period?Doctor's answer:
During this period, women's immune systems are weakest, making them more susceptible to bacterial infections. If you really need to wash, you should take a shower or bathe, but avoid sitting in a bathtub. The water used for bathing should not be too cold or too hot. Cold water can cause menstruation to suddenly stop, while hot water can cause uterine congestion, leading to increased menstrual flow. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to go to the gynecology department of a hospital for an ultrasound examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, pay attention to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
