Patient's question:
I would like to ask you, my usual menstrual period lasts 4-5 days, today is the 4th day. Can I take a hot spring bath? 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 take a hot spring bath during menstruation! And protective measures, thank you!Doctor's answer:
During the menstrual period, 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 relatively weak. It is easy to experience abnormal phenomena and infections due to various factors. Additionally, hot spring water is not pure or sterile. Therefore, if one chooses to soak in hot springs during the menstrual period, 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 it is beneficial, it must be done under conditions suitable for the individual to achieve the best results. It is still best to avoid soaking in hot springs during the menstrual period because, during this time, the endometrium is extremely fragile, which can easily cause damage to the body and increase the risk of infection.
