With the improvement of people's quality of life nowadays, many people have started to consider swimming as a fitness and weight loss exercise. Some women enjoy swimming and still want to go swimming during their menstrual period. However, can women swim on the last day of their period?
On the last day of menstruation, it is not recommended for women to swim. During menstruation, a woman's uterus is in a slightly open state in order to allow the discharge of blood stasis. If a woman goes swimming at this time, bacteria contained in the swimming water may enter her uterus, causing uterine lesions and being detrimental to her physical health.
Secondly, women tend to use sanitary pads or tampons during their menstrual period. In order to prevent menstrual blood from flowing out, sanitary pads and tampons have relatively good water absorption. If women swim during their menstrual period, sanitary pads and tampons may absorb enough swimming water, increasing the probability of female infections and potentially causing gynecological diseases.
During menstruation, the immune system of women is relatively weak. Women should take care of themselves during this period and try not to do things that are not recommended. The uterus is relatively important for women. If there are problems with the uterus, it may affect women's future reproductive ability. Therefore, even on the last day of menstruation, women should pay attention to their physical health.
