Can pregnant women soak in hot springs?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In the early stages of pregnancy, you should not soak in hot springs. Research has confirmed that "high heat" can cause teratogenesis. Additionally, if you soak in hot springs at this time, the normal pH balance and microbial ecosystem of the vagina can be disrupted, making the vagina more susceptible to infections. Therefore, it is recommended not to soak in hot springs to avoid any harm to the fetus.
