Patient's question:
I would like to ask you, my usual menstrual period lasts 4-5 days. Today is the 4th day, can I soak in a hot spring? What protective measures should I take? Please reply as soon as possible, thank you! The help I need: Please reply whether it is okay to soak in a hot spring during menstruation and what protective measures to take, thank you!Doctor's answer:
During menstruation, it is not advisable to soak in hot springs because, during this time, a woman's cervix is in a relatively open state, and the body's resistance is also weaker. It is easy to experience abnormal phenomena and infections due to various factors. Additionally, hot spring water is not completely sterile. Therefore, if one chooses to soak in hot springs during menstruation, it is easy for bacteria in the hot spring water to enter the body and cause infections.Many people know that soaking in hot springs has excellent health benefits for the body. While hot springs are beneficial, they must be used under suitable conditions to achieve the best results. It is still best to avoid soaking in hot springs during menstruation because, during this time, the endometrium is very fragile, which can easily cause damage to the body and increase the risk of infections.
